About the program
Join us once a week on Thursday evenings for our Brazilian samba dance classes at the Levine Music in Silver Spring!
Our principal instructor, Ilheuma Zezeh, is a renowned Brazilian samba teacher, choreographer, and professional performer. Originally from São Paulo, Brazil, Zezeh is a former carnival queen of the Unidos do Peruche samba school located in São Paulo. She has taught and danced professionally for over 30 years in a number of countries including Brazil, the United States, and elsewhere. Zezeh’s teaching philosophy explores mental and physical well-being, self-expression, and positivity.
EducArte welcomes all levels, from beginners to advanced, semi-professionals, and dance instructors. No auditions required. The dance class meets for one hour a week to work on technique, repertoire, and performance. All students will have the opportunity to perform periodically with the EducArte percussion ensemble, if they choose to.
Semester tuition and drop-ins classes available.
