Special offer for January: 175 instead of 350 NOK for 30 minutes (1 person) 130 for 2 people, 100 for 3 people, 80 for 4 people... After 30 min, those who wish for longer class can order that.

Karina will customize new moves & a new choreography to a whole song to this group. The choreography starts with basic steps and builds up to intermediate and advanced level, so it fits all levels of samba dancing experience. She breaks down the moves with great pedagogy, so that everyone gets them. In June, those who wish can join Karina for a student show. (if you prefer to wait for the next course, it will be 13 Aug to 11 Dec) ​ABOUT SAMBA: ​Karina teaches Brazilian Samba no Pé with Rio de Janeiro style, with influences also from other great samba dancing, such as Samba Axé. ​The samba motions are some of the most sophisticated body motions human beings have seen! An average samba class​ is a full body work out and​ can make you burn 500 to 1000 calories per hour!​ On Samba Fitness classes, we not only burn much more calories than usual, we also tone muscles in the whole body! We will have interval training (best for anti-aging), alternating Samba intense practice for reaching exhaustion, and Samba technique breakdown for slowing down. Everyone can do it in their own pace. We finish with a 10 minutes delicious stretching session. It’s for all ages and backgrounds. We dance samba in the Carnival time, and in several Brazilian parties, and we can also dance it to disco music, pop, salsa music (​s​hines), etc.​ ​We can use the moves to spice up many other dance styles. Karina is the most experienced samba pedagogue in Norway!
