The Session: This performance challenge program is built for samba dancers at an experienced-beginner or intermediate level. For weeks 1-6, dancers will strengthen their fundamental skills, build their vocabulary, and improve their samba speed and freestyle abilities. These first 6 weeks are available for drop-ins.

In weeks 7-12, Participants will exhibit their Samba no Pe and performance skills in a new piece of choreography that will both challenge them and enhance their samba training by putting it all on display for a summer festival stage performance! Weeks 7-12 are only available for those participating in the performance package.

The entire performance package includes 12 hours of in-class instruction, and an additional hour of dress rehearsal and practice time to make sure you are feeling your very best before you get on stage. At the end of the 12-week program, participants will have a performance opportunity for their learned choreographed routine on the main stage of African Descent Festival (August 10 + 11th). Students may also get other opportunities to perform at various festivals and latin cultural events throughout July and August (TBD). While attendance for all performances is not required, it is encouraged to take all performance opportunities!
