Workshop Structure
You will receive instruction on the different instruments that make up the ensemble. You will learn how they interact to create the rhythms we play. You will learn songs and movement to the rhythms.
You can learn one instrument or learn to play all the instruments. You will be encouraged to develop your natural talents.
Samba Squad plays a variety of rhythms from the north and south of Brazil, as well as rhythms created by the African diaspora, from Salsa to Samba.
People learn at different speeds and we have different methods of advancing your natural ability.
