Learn samba dance from Sonia Pessoa, a native of Bahia, Brazil, the first home of samba. Sonia is an authentic sambista, with her charismatic smile, unique hip movements, and long, expressive arms. She spreads charm and vibrant energy to those who watch her. She has been dancing professionally and teaching the art and magic of samba for more than 18 years.

Sonia will demonstrate and teach the basics of samba dance. Also stay for our percussion ensemble workshop with André Coelho immediately following the dance workshop!

This is a regularly occurring Brazilian dance workshop hosted by EducArte. All levels are welcome to participate.

This event is free and open to the public. While primarily intended for adults, everyone is welcome. Please note that this workshop will be held at Old Parish House of College Park at 4711 Knox Road.

The event is a program of College Park-based arts non-profit EducArte. Special thanks to event sponsor, the College Park Arts Exchange.
