DANCE WORKSHOP

Watching a Brazilian dancer move, everyone is impressed and fascinated by the elegance and the feeling for rhythm that Brazilians have. These classes help you to move just like a Brazilian! Popular dance styles include Samba , Pagode , Forró, Lambada, Capoeira, Axé and Candomblé, where every God or Godess moves to their own rythms and has their own songs. Students will be introduced to some of these movements during the classes.

Students receive two classes of one hour each week, for at least one week. Classes are held in the afternoon, so they don't interfere with the language courses, and consist of a theoretical and a practical aspect. A professional teacher gives a general introduction to different rhythms and dances, explaining history, tra- dition and development of Brazilian dance. Students will be prepared for Carnival, for a better understanding of Can- domblé rituals, or for future participation in Capoeira. Each group must have a minimum number of at least 3 students.
