Summer Samba Challenge

Take our Summer Samba Challenge to tone your body, build and polish your samba dance technique, and experience other dances of Brazil!
This summer, EducArte is offering weekly 2-hour fitness and Brazilian dance classes in the heart of Downtown Silver Spring on Thursdays from July 10-31. The classes are taught by our experienced samba instructors Amina Malik and Mariana Triginelli.
Each weekly session includes:
- Conditioning: A medium-impact circuit to strengthen arms, legs, back, and core, and improve agility, supporting your dance technique.
- Samba no pé technique: Focused samba no pé instruction, with attention to precision, speed, and style.
- Brazilian “dance sampler”: Explore different Brazilian dance styles, including frevo from Recife (taught by Kate Spanos), axĂ© from Bahia (taught by Mariana Triginelli), and capoeira (taught by Pablo Regis).
Registration for the full four-week session is encouraged. Drop-ins are also welcome.
