ABOUT THE SESSION
This 8-week course is ideal for dancers still building their vocabulary and muscle memory when it comes to samba no pe. Dancers can expect samba drills and choreography in the 100bpm-120bpm range.

Dancers in this class should be able to comfortably samba having mastered their fundamental samba step at a 110BPM+ speed while in heels, and learn + demonstrate 45 seconds of choreography within a 1-hour class format. They will continue to hone their skills with more intricate footwork and weight transfers, turning steps, and increasing their samba speed in heels.

Participants will exhibit their Samba no Pe and performance skills in a new piece of choreography in a stunning costume 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, December 12th. 

Directors reserve the right to divert participants to a more appropriate level where necessary. Dancers may be directed to co-enroll in continued skill development with private lessons or regular attendance of the Samba Improvers class in order to perform.
