aula de samba em Ipanema

We had a great samba class with Gaby and would recommend this activity if you are visiting Rio with an interest in getting an intro to samba.

I did this activity solo during my long stay in Rio, this is a good activity if you want get the feel for samba and carnival. Gaby was my instructor teaching our group the foundations of samba nice and slow working you to quick feet and at the end we had a photo op with carnival costumes! So fun, and great memories!

I had a fantastic time with the teacher Carla; she makes you feel comfortable and explains everything very well. Videos and photos are provided at the end of the class, and as a cherry on top, she takes your picture in a beautiful samba costume. It was a wonderful moment of sharing; I truly recommend it. Thank you very much, Carla. Andrée Tami

Ranna at Samba Fit Rio was absolutely fantastic! Anyone thinking about taking her class definitely should. She made everything feel simple and natural while bringing so much energy and passion. The samba moves, the music, and the dancing were incredible from start to finish. It honestly felt like getting a beautiful glimpse into Brazilian culture through dance. Such a fun and unforgettable experience — highly recommend!

My friend and I had an amazing experience with out amazing coach Carla, Can’t wait to go again on my next trip to Rio

This class was a lot of fun. The instructor was patient and helpful. Love that they include pictures and videos too.

It was a fun and welcoming environment. Easy to learn samba for beginners! I would highly recommend.

Our instructor Ranaa was fantastic. I came with some friends who have zero experience in Samba and Ranaa didn’t miss a beat. She’s attentive to the whole class and has a way of simplifying all the steps so that everyone is in step. (Posted on behalf of Jason’s group)

Really perfect, we had a great time! Thank you very much.

One of my most favorite experience in Rio. This class was so fun and really works you! I will definitely be back!
