Ilê Aiyê led a community workshop on Thursday, September 4, bringing together people from across the area’s Brazilian music and dance scene the day before their concert at the UDC Theater of the Arts. The event was held at the Go-Go Museum, a community-centered space in historic Anacostia dedicated to celebrating, preserving, and sharing the city’s homegrown go-go music through interactive exhibits, live performances, historic artifacts, and educational programs.

Last week, we wrapped up our Summer Samba Challenge! It was a fantastic month of weekly sessions, including: a short workout to prepare our bodies to dance, intensive samba technique, and a Brazilian dance taster series.

Our samba dancers, led by Mariana Triginelli and featuring special guest Andressa Telles, brought the carnival energy, and our bateria came out in force.

On March 19, EducArte proudly presented the legendary Grupo Fundo de Quintal at Black Cat DC, marking a memorable night for Brazilian samba lovers in the region.
