About This Class

This class is designed for dancers to learn and improve their Samba no pé technique (footwork), posture, and performance skills. Exploring Samba's cultural essence, its roots, without losing their self-expression in the process. The class starts with a gentle warm-up that includes isolations, basic postures, and a stretching routine aimed at improving flexibility and balance.

Samba class will not only cover the basic steps of samba for the less experienced dancers but also guide the more experienced dancers in class to diving into their samba, improve stamina, and increase the variety of movements.

Please note that this class takes place at the Ailey Studios in-person but is also available to stream from home using an online class card. Sign up for Online Samba >
