“Dance translates what I cannot say in words. Dance connects me with the Universe. Dance connects me with you”. – Rosangela Silvestre

Class Descriptions:

Symbology of Orixa Dance Class:

Dance class exploring of the connections between the rhythms and the traditional movement, archetype and story, of the Orixa dances interpreted as an art form. Discover how sacred symbolism inspires the body to dance. Orixa is the Essence of the Universe.

The Silvestre Technique Dance Class:

A continuously evolving contemporary dance technique with the objective of conditioning the dancer through physical and expressive training – regardless of level or previous experience. The Silvestre Technique brings to dance training a connection with the physical body and its connection to the Universe, which Silvestre calls, “the Body Universe.”

Samba de Roda/ Samba de Caboclo – the ROOTS of Samba:

Bring the aspect of Ancestral celebration and manifestation of movement that is and has become the most popular rhythm and dance of Brazil, creating an open possibility for everyone to discover how samba can be expressed in diverse body memory.
