Afro-Brazilian Samba
The Class explores the culture of Afro Brazilian Samba. Learn to use footwork, body placement and rhythmic steps to create dramatic, and stylish choreography!
Instructor: Dill Costa. “Dance guided my steps, rescued my story, educated my body and brought balance to my mind. Music brought brightness, love, emotion to my words, bringing balance between my soul and my art in Brazil and America. Music and Dance complete me- my art saved me!”
