Dance and experience the music of the Brazilian Carnival as you watch a rehearsal of a samba school in Rio de Janeiro. You'll see the dancers practicing their choreography and even be able to join them!
Samba School Rehearsal Visit
At the indicated time, we'll pick you up at your hotel in Rio de Janeiro or the port and make our way to a samba school in Rio de Janeiro.
Brazilian samba schools start practicing their Carnival dances and performances many months before the event. Composing the songs, creating the costumes, and assembling the allegorical floats takes time and, of course, rehearsing the complicated choreographies, known all over the world.
Luckily, some schools open their doors to the public so that visitors can see first-hand their Carnival dance rehearsals, meet the dancers, and enjoy the magic of one of the world's biggest events.
We'll attend a rehearsal of a samba school at its headquarters (quadra) and immerse ourselves in Brazil's most carnivalesque culture. Afterward, we'll join the dancers in a colorful party full of music and fun - enjoy the samba capital like never before!
After four hours of unstoppable experience, we'll take you back to your starting point.
