Samba de Roda Taster Workshop

Samba de Roda – Dance With Us! 💃🥁🎶

Feel the rhythm. Discover the movement. Share the joy!

Have you ever watched Samba de Roda at a Capoeira event and thought, "I'd love to try that!"?

Well, now is your chance! 💛

Join Kasia for a joyful, one-hour introduction to Samba de Roda, a beautiful Afro-Brazilian tradition that brings people together through dance, music, rhythm and community.

Samba de Roda is not about perfect steps or complicated choreography. It's about feeling the music, expressing yourself, connecting with others and enjoying the freedom of movement!

🌟 What to expect

🥁 Feel the rhythm – Explore the music and rhythms that bring Samba de Roda to life.

💃 Learn the moves – Discover some traditional Samba de Roda movements and build your confidence on the dance floor.

🌍 Discover the culture – Learn about the Afro-Brazilian roots, traditions and connection between Samba de Roda and Capoeira.

❤️ Experience the community – Enjoy movement, laughter and connection in a friendly, welcoming space.

🎶 Join the Roda! – We'll finish by forming our own Samba de Roda circle, bringing together everything we've explored and celebrating the joy of dancing together!

And additional great part is that we'll have LIVE MUSIC to bring the rhythms of Samba de Roda to life, filling the room with energy, joy and the irresistible urge to dance!

💛 Everyone is welcome!

No dance experience needed. No partner required. No pressure to perform.

Just bring comfortable clothes, an open mind and a willingness to have fun!

Whether you already practise Capoeira, love dancing or simply want to try something new, we'd love to welcome you into our Roda.
