Welcome to African Sambistas!
We are a collective of drummers and dancers who love African and Samba inspired rhythms to shake our booties to!
Times: 7pm to 8pm Performance Group rehearsals.
OPEN class: 8.15pm to 9.45pm (please arrive from 8pm for a prompt start).
Participants are taught group routines based on African dance technique, African Samba, Samba Fusion and Samba inspired dance styles with a body percussive 'twist'. Solo/duets and small group work, as well as an opportunity to contribute to the choreography are further developed in the Performance group.
We would like to invite old and new Sambistas to a Soriee & Review meeting on Wednesday 11th January 7pm to 10pm at The Victoria Park Pub ( 5mins down the road from the college). This is an opportunity to meet and catch up with the other Sambistas and to look at what we have achieved last term and the exciting plans for the new term ahead.

Classes are taught on a fortnightly basis by Rachel de Garang & Jenny Rintoul with occasional guest teachers. Once you have mastered a number of the group routines, you can join the Performance group, to further develop your technical, performance and choreographic skills AND have the opportunity to audition to take part in the numerous performances, festivals and other music and dance events!
We believe in EQUALITY, but do not have any men in our dance classes, we would therefore like to encourage MORE MEN to join our dance classes!
Our classes will develop your fitness and stamina levels, tone those waist lines and firm those bum cheeks. But we also have lots of FUN and have many occasions where we socialise and eat together!
