To bring the vibrant energy of Brazilian music and movement to life. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced dancer, this class is all about having fun, feeling the rhythm, and immersing yourself in the sick beats of Brazil!

I want students to leave the class feeling energized, confident, and connected with the Brazilian dance culture. Improve their rhythm and coordination and develop their own unique dance style. Have fun, let loose, and feel empowered through movement and music!

Brazilian Funk (Funk Carioca) is a high-energy music and dance style that originated in the favelas of Rio de Janeiro in the late 1980s. It’s heavily influenced by Miami bass, hip-hop, and Afro-Brazilian rhythms, creating a powerful, percussive sound with infectious beats. The genre is known for its bold lyrics, bass-heavy beats, and signature dance moves that emphasize hip and lower body movement.
