Looking for Latin Inspiration Workshops? Serve up a Spicy South American Dish

With its diverse people, vast landscape and colourful history, Latin America offers a wealth of opportunity for businesses, charities and particularly schools to offer a cultural educational experience like no other. From the Caribbean charm of Cuba to the carnival country that is Brazil, Latin America is awash with sound, colour and life.

If you’ve always wanted to bring samba, salsa or even Zumba™ to your school or office, then our authentic South American workshops at competitive prices could be just what you’ve been waiting for, while more craft-orientated sessions are available from within our range of carnival arts workshops.

Alternatively, if you’re looking to give the children a break from the standard P.E. lesson, we can provide expert tuition in Brazilian Capoeira, a martial art with a unique and fascinating history.

As an example, we offer:

  • Samba Percussion
  • Afro Brazilian Dance
  • Carnival Mask Making
  • Zumba™ Dance
  • Afro-Cuban Percussion Workshop
  • Samba Dance
  • Latin Dance
  • Brazilian Capoeira
  • Carnival Costume Making
  • ….and much more!

It is almost impossible to imagine Brazil without samba, and the percussion section is the engine that drives that classic 2/4 rhythm. With a Trap samba percussion workshop, your students or colleagues will become part of a samba bateria and learn to play to the batucada beat on intriguing instruments such as the tamborim.

Using real rhythms and genuine techniques, participants will start by using their voices before mastering the drums en route to a carnival-style performance.
