Take a samba journey in this workshop as we develop understanding of how samba has evolved from the roots of Samba de Roda in Bahia to the 'Escolas de Samba' (Samba Schools) in Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo. This workshop is open to all levels tapping into the essence, musicality, and playful nature of samba.
Vero Leopoldino is a multi-disciplinary artist, dancer, teacher, choreographer, photographer and cultural producer. She specialises in Afro-Brazilian arts and culture and has worked across community and corporate environments, teaching since 2006.
