New Classes has started in September 2019

Welcome to Fall 2019

We have successfully started new season with additional Level 2 class for those who have taken beginner Samba before or have other samba background. These classes run on Mondays from 8 to 9.30 pm at The Dance Centre (4 floor).

Our BEGINNER series has moved to Baza Dance Studios on Wednesdays, 6 to 7 pm. Join the drop-in classes for the basics, tons of footwork and explanation.

Vancouver Samba School is now an official coordinator for the International Samba Day 2019 flashmob, so, we will learn official choreo in both classes and record by December (depends on the progress). Location and dates of filming will be announced later.

Vancouver Samba Birds Team practices will commence on September 20 at Harbour Dance Studios at 7.45 pm. E-mail or message if you are interested to be part of it.

#BrazilianFair2019 on September 2, 2019

Brazilian Fair 2019 is here!

Organized by The General Consulate of Brazil in Vancouver, this amazing event for all Vancouverites, guests and tourists, families and friends will take place right in Downtown Vancouver.

Vancouver Samba School will be present at the Event as a vendor, performer and part of our multicultural Brazilian community. Yes, we are a multicultural team, but we love Brazil and love Samba. So, we bring its colours, energy and beauty live in Vancouver.

Come on down to Roundhouse Community Centre Plaza (shine) or The Centre itself (rain) on Monday, September 2. This is why we have Long Weekends, right? – to fully enjoy them and “dive into another culture” and “to travel abroad” while in Vancouver.

For information about classes, see us at Vancouver Samba School booth.

NOTE FROM THE CONSULATE OF BRAZIL:
Anunciamos oficialmente a BRAZILIAN FAIR 2019 !!!

Esperamos vê-los no Roundhouse Community Centre (Yaletown), no feriado de Labour Day (2 de setembro), entre 2PM e 6PM.

Por favor, compartilhem com seus contatos. Vamos fazer desse evento uma grande celebração da comunidade brasileira em Vancouver!

After 4 days of intensive dancing, learning, listening, playing music and even Capoeira at the internationalsambacongress.com there is no better way to share the spirit of such events as passing down some knowledge to students.

Yulia is attempting to bring a piece of that spirit back to Vancouver, to share knowledge, tricks and again to focus on Samba basics and footwork.
