FREE TRIAL CLASS- WEDNESDAY JAN 7TH
Please note there will be no classes on Wednesday, Feb 18th

The Session: This is the beginner-friendly samba class you’ve been waiting for! Whether you’ve been wanting to try to learn samba, or you want to build your confidence by giving yourself a new goal to achieve- this is the session for you. Participants will learn basic samba technique, styling, and vocabulary in a weekly-class format. Participants will exhibit their style 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 Winter Recital performance in a gorgeous professional theatre for their friends and family to attend on Saturday, May 9th at the Dance Centre Theatre.

The entire performance package includes 6 hours of in-class instruction, and an additional hour of dress rehearsal and an additional open-studio day of practice time to make sure you are feeling your very best before you get on stage. Performing is not mandatory, but we urge all of our students to strive for the stage!

Students may also get other opportunities to perform at various festivals and latin cultural events throughout June, July and August (TBD). While attendance for all performances is not required, it is always encouraged to take all performance opportunities!
