Samba Classes at EasyDrop

Samba emerged from the Brazilian mixture of originally African music styles, resulting in this typically Brazilian dance, cheerful, sensual, and spontaneous.

 

EasyDrop offers you the oportunity to learn Samba dancing in just a week!

 

The weekly EasyDrop Samba Course consists of 4 practical classes of 1 hour and 20 min each, plus a dance party at the local dance house Quintal, to apply the new skills in the "real world".

 

Dance classes happen in the following sequence:

1. Stretching (preparation exercises) and warm-up (synchronizing activities, familiarization with the rhythms, socialization, unblocking)
2. Rhythm activities (intensification of rhythm perceptions, counter-timing, breaks)
3. Technical exercises (body expression work, dominion, the Samba finally!)
4. Choreography (practicing the various learned movements with different rhythms and intentions, memorizing classes)
