Samba Workshop

I Am Beautiful, Look At Me. .....

.... is such an enriching experience that everyone should have it.  It is social-emotional power, to be able to "put yourself on display' and request for all the community to look. Within the supportive structure of Afro-Brazilian Samba de Roda, we each take out turn in the spotlight and perform spectacle. This offers the community not just something grand to look at, but it also builds fate in the leadership of individuals to shine for when and how it may be most needed.
