The Soul of Rio’s Carnival in Your Living Room!

Created by Quenia Ribeiro, New York–based Brazilian dance star and leader of Grupo Ribeiro, Dance Today! Samba teaches “Samba no Pé”—the iconic, hip-swaying solo dance of Rio de Janeiro—in two vibrant, musical choreographies. Whether you’re a beginner or advanced dancer, you’ll learn authentic steps, rhythmic footwork, and festive energy straight from the source.

What makes this program essential:
✅ Taught by a true cultural ambassador: Quenia’s deep roots in Brazilian tradition—and her live band, Grupo Ribeiro—bring real samba soul to every lesson
✅ Two complete choreographies:
 • Beginner-friendly breakdowns of basic samba footwork
 • Advanced refinements for hip articulation, bounce, and musicality
✅ Carnival context: Understand how your dance connects to “Escolas de Samba”—the community schools that create Rio’s legendary parade wings
✅ 100% authentic: No diluted “fitness samba”—just true Samba no Pé, as danced in the streets of Rio

Ideal for:
• Beginners wanting a joyful, culturally rich entry into samba
• Advanced dancers seeking authentic technique for performance or Carnival prep
• Festival lovers who dream of dancing in the Carnaval parade

In Dance Today! Samba, every step is a celebration—of rhythm, heritage, and unshakable joy.
