Description

Brazilians seem to be born with the natural ability to dance! Wherever you are in the country, you'll most likely be greeted by 'Samba Rodas' (circles), and it's hard to escape being asked to strut your stuff alongside the locals! Join us on a special Latin American Dance Course and get your skills up to scratch in the studio before hitting the streets.

* Any level catered for!
* Group lessons with other volunteers and/or 'foreigners'
* Lessons are 100% practical
* Within easy reach of your accommodation
* Styles of dance taught in Rio: Ballroom Dance, Samba, Forró, Salsa, and Tango

In Rio you will be subscribed for all lessons and you can pick and choose which you attend. Each style of dance is usually taught twice per week, and so you can spend all week dancing if you wish! (9 hours per week total)
