Along with G.R.E.S. Sambão Para O Povo, we offer drum and dance
classes covering
a wide variety of styles and ability levels. Sambão is
dedicated to promoting cross-culturalism
through Brazilian music and dance. We offer classes to new-comers
to introduce them to
Brazilian forms and turn them into Brazil-philes, as well as classes
for veteran Brazil-philes that
need an outlet in the South Bay and on the Peninsula. We meet
every week on an on-going
basis. Wednesday night we offer our Intermediate/Advanced classes
in Mountain View and
Thursday nights we offer our Introductory courses in San Jose.
Please visit the links below
