Samba, at its core, is an Afro-Brazilian expression of cultural identity, a celebration of life and the power of community connection.

The style itself is a strong and captivating blend of sass, wild abandon and incredible control.

Much of its origins lay in the sugar cane plantations of Brazil by African slaves who dances as a form of self-preservation, resilience and creativity.

And a place to find joy in the face of the severe struggles they were up against. And ultimately, that they beat!

It is a beautiful hybrid of so many styles of artistic and rhythmic values. Come join the DRSD Samba party!
