Brazilian Samba (Ladies only) - every Monday in Fitzroy

Monday February 20 2012

Ladies, ladies, ladies... You'll love Brazillian Samba!

The Brazilian Samba music rhythm has been danced in Brazil since its inception in the late 19th century. Samba is a solo dance that is most often danced impromptu when samba music is played. The basic movement involves a straight body and a bending of one knee at a time. The feet move very slightly - only a few inches at a time.

Samba is a great workout, especially around the torso, buttocks and legs. High energy music makes Samba an exciting and fun dance whilst learning sexy moves.

Instructor: Melissa Cristina
Melissa was the co-founder and choreographer of KATUMBA Latin Dance Entertainment company. She performed in the "OLE OLA" Latin Dance Extravaganza with Fabio Robles at Copacabana, Rio's Brazilian Restaurant, Crown Casino and many more venues around Melbourne for the past 5 years. Melissa is a true professional in her field and is very passionate about dance, music, teaching and the continuation of multicultural dance education in Australia.
