Gracias a Rio & Learn por ensenarnos no solo el idioma, sino por sentir que la mejor forma de vivir la verdadera esencia de un país es involucrandose con su cultura a traves de su gente, su baile y sus ritmos! Participar de un ensayo de Mangueria; una de las mejores escuelas de samba de Rio, fue una experiencia increible …. compartir con cariocas y otros companeros extranjeros, me hizo sentir que la comunicacion -no importa de que pais o continente seas- siempre hace bailar al corazon!
Muito Legal e muito obrigada Rio & Learn

Mangueira is one of the most important Samba Schools in Rio de Janeiro. Mangueira is a very traditional place and was one of the first Samba Schols in Rio de Janeiro. We went together to see this fantastic show and as well to see how our Japanese student, Saaya, dances as a new passista in Mangueira. A passista is a samba carnival dancer.
From US, Austria, Lithuania, Colombia, Slovakia and Japan, our students danced and had fun mixing up with brazilian samba dancers. See on the pictures below how much fun we had.
