About the Workshop
Brazil in Motion is a cultural workshop that invites participants to experience the richness of Brazilian culture through movement, music, and collective expression. Drawing inspiration from Coco, Samba, and the vibrant spirit of Carnival, the workshop offers an engaging journey into some of Brazil’s most celebrated traditions.
More than a dance and culture workshop, Brazil in Motion is a safe, welcoming, and inclusive space where free and diverse bodies are valued and respected. No previous dance experience is required and everyone is encouraged to explore movement in their own authentic way, free from judgment or expectations.
Designed as an intimate gathering with a small group of participants, the workshop creates opportunities for meaningful connection, exchange, and community. It is an invitation to discover Brazilian culture through joy, ancestry, rhythm, creativity, and the power of coming together.
