SAMBA
WITH LOVE
+
Samba is an Afro-Brazilian music and dance tradition, created by descendants of enslaved Africans in Bahia and Rio de Janeiro. Rooted in the rhythms of the African diaspora, it is both a symbol of Brazil and a powerful expression of Black identity, resilience, resistance, and cultural creativity

Samba With Love is dedicated to cultivating an enriching environment for learning and growth through dance. Samba With Love provides high-quality dance pop-up events, classes and workshops that blend creativity, discipline, and passion to inspire excellence in every dancer.
How you can take part in Samba in a thoughtful and respectful way?
It is essential to approach participation in all cultural dances with respect and cultural sensitivity. The specific dance we are engaging in is samba no pé, a traditional Afro-Brazilian form of expression.
As newcomers to samba no pé, it is essential to approach this dance with respect and cultural awareness.
Approaching a dance with cultural sensitivity means showing respect, understanding, and appreciation for the culture it comes from, rather than appropriating or misrepresenting it.
