THIS ISN'T JUST A CLASS.
This is cultural immersion.
This is learning traditional Samba songs.
This is playing rhythms rooted in history.
We learn from the traditions of Escola de Samba and Roda de Samba, rather than treating Samba simply as a drumming style.
LEARN TO PLAY TOGETHER.
Learn to listen, find your part, and play as an ensemble. Individual rhythms become something bigger when we play them together.
Build your skills from the ground up.
Experience the power of a full Samba ensemble.
Take what you've learned into parades and community events.
FROM THE CLASSROOM TO THE COMMUNITY
BFA isn't just about what happens during class. What we learn together can take us into parades, performances, and community events—putting the rhythms we've practiced into action and sharing Samba with the wider community.
