Adapted from Jaguar and his partner Cissa Barbosa’s highly successful “Do Zero ao Baile” program founded in Salvador, Bahia, which in its 13 editions has introduced Samba de Gafieira to hundreds of students, our Zero to Dancefloor classes will connect the elements and principles that constitute the core of the Gafieira.
We will learn the reasons and sensations of why we move the way we do in Samba, and build bases to dialogue and connect with oneself, with others, and with the culture and history of samba. As we dance together, we will learn the basic elements that constitute the formal language of Samba de Gafieira, but always with room for improvisation, as the dance is alive and is created by those who dance!
All Levels including complete beginners welcome.
