Carmen was fantastic! Got quite the workout in this class but actually learned something. I would do it again!
Response from Host, Feb 2024
Hey, that's awesome to hear! Carmen really knows how to bring the energy, right? And getting a workout while learning sounds like a win-win. Can't wait to have you back for another round of fun and learning!
Nog what we were expecting
Roberta_A, Mar 2023
Booked this on the misapprehension that there was going to be a crowd and a bit of fun. Turned up an only us and another couple. It was a bona fide dance class. Not what we were looking for so left before it began.
Response from Host, Sep 2023
Hello Roberta, You could have asked how many people were signed up for the class before arriving. You are always welcome to ask before assuming the class will be crowded. We are happy to suggest another day or full refund.
Enjoyable Samba Class in Rio de Janeiro

That was an awesome and very enjoyable experience. We are not dancers but the instructor made it simple to follow and we had a swell time. Highly recommended for all ages!!!
Response from Host, Feb 2024
Hey, thanks for sharing your experience! We're stoked you had an awesome time, even if dancing isn't your usual thing. Our instructor's all about making it easy and fun for everyone. And hey, age is just a number when it comes to having a blast, right? Thanks for the recommendation, and we hope to see you again soon for more fun at Rio Samba Dancer!
Worth it

This was moat fun thing I have done. I am a male so hesitant to try but glad I did. The instructor made this so easy and fun
Fantastic!
Martina_S, Nov 2022
Great location and teacher. I learned a lot in a short time! Friendly and well-organized. Can wholeheartedly recommend to anyone!!!
Very recommended
Katharina_S, Oct 2022
The dance lesson with Carla was amazing! She is a great teacher and you will learn the "real" Samba (not the one you get teached at home in dancing schools). She makes videos and photos during dancing and afterwards with flags and a Samba costume and will share it right after the lessons. Highly recommended!
Fun Must-do activity in Rio!
Winona_G, Sep 2021
One of my favorite experiences of the trip was attending the dance class! Guide was friendly and funny! I also learned some history about the samba! I went with my husband.
Response from Host, Jul 2022
Hello, I'm glad you had a good time with us. We like to explain samba culture and of course, teach samba steps. Thanks for sharing your experience.
Divertente
