Do you want a fun and exciting way to exercise? Do you want to lose weight, strengthen your legs and

Brazilian samba with Marizete from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and learn how to move your body like a Brazilian carnival dancer.
It is all about enjoying the music and feeling the emotion of this exhilarating dance. Sweat, smile and shake your booty in
this one hour of nonstop fun. Learn how to feel like a carnival queen and get in shape all at the same time. Come out and dance to the drums of Brazil and feel the freedom of a dance workout!!
Each class begins with a 5 to 10 minute warm-up session with movements
and exercises to loosen up the body, and especially the hips which are essential to dancing a good samba. The warm-up is followed by the breakdown of the individual steps
that you will learn, choreographed by Marizete, and you will follow her by imitating her movements.
After you learn the basic steps you will learn some sequences of steps to use when you are dancing with your
friends. Always remember that the more you practice what you learn in class the more you get out of your next class. The most
important thing is to dance, smile, be happy and express yourself through the movements that you learn in class.

SOLO (SAMBA NO PÉ)
The origin is intimately linked to the history of samba and carnival. Samba foot always meant freedom and relaxation.
It is the dance for yourself and those around.
The samba avenue, one of the dancers, samba is legitimate that is passed
from generation to generation in communities and schools of samba.
SAMBA DE GAFIEIRA (SAMBA PARTNER)
WHY NOT DANCE SAMBA
WITH A PARTNER? It is therapeutic, gives you more self esteem,
helps eliminate stress, introduces you to new friends, and the best thing, it makes you happier! "Who dances is happier" Samba de Gafieira is a partner dance completely different from International
Ballroom Samba. It appeared in the 40s and it gets its name from the Gafieira - popular urban nightclubs of Rio de Janeiro
at that time. It is originally from Rio de Janeiro, and is the partner version of the world-renowned Brazilian dance, SAMBA.
The dance derived
from the Maxixe and followed the arrival of the Choro (another samba musical style). It left most of the Maxixe's Polka elements
behind but maintained the entwined leg movements of the Argentine Tango, although adopting a more relaxed posture than the
later. Many see this form of Samba as a combination of Waltz and Tango and several Brazilian dancing academies actually use
elements and techniques of these two dances to teach Samba de Gafieira movements and choreographies. This style is present
in dance academies worldwide. Samba de Gafieira is a stylish, beautiful and creative couple dance. It is has energetic movements and connection
between the couple. Samba de Gafieira can be danced (with the exception of fast carnival songs) to Bossa Nova, pagode, choro,
samba canção, and others hot paced sambas. Through its unique combination of dance genres and Samba styles, Samba de Gafieira establishes
its own identity, allowing the dancer to express both grace and playfulness with intimacy and strength.
