Amazing class with a great teacher! - Yasmin was an amazing teacher, she provided an in depth history of capoeira, the studio itself and samba at the beginning of the class. She was really patient with my friend and I and went at a pace that we could easily follow. She also gave explanations about special parts of the samba routine. I had the best time and would recommend this class to everyone. ¡Me encanta la samba! 💃🏾

Would recommend! - Had so much fun! Yasmín was amazing and had everyone dancing. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming which I really appreciated since I went by myself. I was also able to stay and do a drumming class. I never realized how hard it was! So glad I did this tour / experience. I would recommend to everyone. As a bonus I was also able to watch some capoeira and enjoy some spontaneous drumming just outside the studio :)

10/10! - A fantastic introduction to Samba! Our instructor Yasmin made the class welcoming, inclusive, informative and relaxed but most of all very fun. Having been initially reluctant (as a terrible dancer) I was pressured by my girlfriend to join and I couldn’t have enjoyed it more! Would 100% recommend for all, a very fun activity for our time in Bahia!

Unforgettable Introduction to Samba with Yasmin - I had the opportunity to take a samba class with Yasmin, and she was phenomenal. I loved everything about the class. She provided great logistical information for arriving at the class. The class was very engaging and fun. Not only did I get to learn samba, but I also learned about the history of samba in Salvador. I was even able to attend a culture night. The samba class was actually my first day in Brazil, and it was the perfect way to immerse myself in the culture. I would highly recommend taking this class; she even gave helpful pointers on how to navigate Brazil.

Unique experience just in the center of town - The experience was amazing. Very interesting about the history of Capoeira and Samba. As a beginner of dancing, it was hard but also fun.

A fun and informative class of Samba de Roda - My Samba de Roda class with Yasmin was a great end to a fantastic trip to Bahia. Yasmin is very knowledgeable, and I loved learning about the history of Capoeira and Samba de Roda. It was also good fun giving it a go myself. Yasmin is an excellent teacher, and I would love to do more classes on my return.

Unique Samba and Capoeira experience - A fantastic experience! The place where the group meets is worth seeing in itself. Yasmin explains the fascinating history of Capoeira and Samba in a very exciting way. I learned a lot of Samba steps in the dance lesson. Afterwards we were invited to a real Capoeira show. The show lasted about two hours and we were right in the middle of it. Truly breathtaking!
