Celebrate the ancestral energy of Samba de Roda, a joyful and sacred dance from Bahia, deeply connected to Afro-Brazilian traditions and feminine expression. In this workshop, we’ll dance with skirts, channeling circularity, softness, and the power of the Orixás that inspire the movement.
We’ll explore:
Historical and spiritual roots of Samba de Roda
Skirt technique: spins, gestures, and flow
Use of rhythm and call-and-response
Choreographic phrases with skirt manipulation
Bring your own skirt. Barefoot or dance flats. All levels welcome.
