The goal of the online preparation is to build a strong samba foundation. Not only for beginners, but also for intermediate and advanced dancers to refine their technique. 

• Monthly online team meetings

• Online samba training classes (samba no pé, heels, stamina)

• Special guest teachers

As Carnival gets closer, the training sessions will become more intense. During the intensive training, you’ll come to Atlanta and train three days straight with Ingrideand the other dancers.

Note: We fully understand that not everyone is able to travel to Atlanta. That’s why we record the intensive training for those who can’t join in person, so you can still follow along and stay on track.

In Rio, you will not only train with world-renowned dancers and teachers, you will experience the culture of Carnival in a real way. 

• Street rehearsal

• In-person samba classes 

• Heels technique classes

• Afro-Brazilian dance class

• Rehearsal shows at samba schools

The big day! It’s time to parade on the biggest avenue in the world: the Sambadrome in Rio de Janeiro. Together with the other dancers, you’ll be part of an international ala.** Everything you worked so hard for comes together here. 

Note: The samba school is selected each year. However, it will always be a school competing at Série Ouro level or higher.
