On Sundays, including this coming June 29th, from Noon – 1:30p, attend a Brazilian Dance Class with Bahia In Motion at Balance Studio. Celebrate Brazilian rhythm and dance in this fun, energetic class! Class cards are available for those who want to attend weekly dance sessions, or drop-in for only $15 each time.
Learn dances that draw from the rich cultural traditions of Bahia and Northeast Brazil including Afro, Samba Reggae, Samba de Roda, Orixa Dance Movement and Carnaval dances. Integrated into each class will be the cultural context and history behind the dances.
Each class introduces basic Afro-Brazilian movement starting with a warm-up of stretching, strengthening and breathing. Then, learn basic movements, movement sequences and simple choreography working individually, in pairs and in group. Each class concludes with a cool-down session.
Throughout all the classes, the enchanting rhythms and music of Brazil accompany the movements, and help the dancers learn to recognize the rhythms specific to each dance. Enjoy this blend of vibrant Brazilian rhythms and movement to get your body invigorated and your spirit refreshed! For more information on this and other classes, visit the Bahia In Motion website.
