Fabulous fun - find an hour to do this! - This was such a fun hour! Time and money very well spent! Leave your self-consciousness at the door, relax and enjoy! Our teacher Março was a wonderful and gifted teacher, striking exactly the right balance between fun, encouragement, confidence and properly teaching us what Samba steps involve. He is a brilliant dancer himself, and the photos we took at the end are some of the best of our trip. My husband and I don’t dance at all, and were so glad we booked and did this! Very highly recommended!

Great introduction to... - Great introduction to Samba, even for dance grouches like me. The group was mixed (age, couples/singles, etc.), but I think everyone enjoyed it.

Very professional & clear instruction - I was the only student! Bem Vind was the instructor. He explained very clear about each step. Very professional with counts and accent of each step. He went right to the dance and I just followed him, he stopped and explained when he saw I did not get it, then we kept repeating until I felt comfortable. We did across the floor and turns, forward & backwards. This is a crash course, being a dance director of ballet and modern dance, Samba is quite challenging for me. I wish I stay for a week to take the class daily. He taught the class that we used the whole space.

Wish she had spoken some English - Our instructor had great energy and we had fun. Unfortunately, she didn’t speak any English and spent about a third of the time typing in words to translate what to do.

Energetic teacher, basic dancing - Very energetic teacher. He kept it fun, if quite basic. They offered us a full refund after a scheduling snafu, which was kind.

Overall a satisfactory experience - Enjoyed the course overall! The course was perfectly suited for us as beginners, starting from very simple, specific movements. I think 90 minutes would have been a more suitable length (than the 60 minutes we got), but that’s just my personal preferance. The room was too small for the number of people attending, which was a real drawback, but we still had a good time!
