Info

Brazilians seem to be born with the natural ability to dance! 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!

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)
