Saturdays, 12pm | March 28th-May 2nd | Robson Square (outdoor, rain or shine)

FREE TRIAL- Saturday, March 21st

The Session:In this performance challenge program, the participants will experiment and perform a piece of Samba de Malandro choreography! Learn the Brazilian history and culture that influences the dance movements, and really immerse yourself in the Malandro character, movements, and musicality. While this is an open-level class, some prior samba experience is recommended. 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 Spring 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!
