I have wanted to learn Samba since 2003 when Snoop Dogg did his music video for his song “Beautiful” in Brazil. I fell in love with Samba. In 2009, there was a brief Samba segment in the Zumba fitness DVD’s but the instructor did not teach any Samba basics and so I couldn’t learn it. In 2023 I started scouring the internet once and for all to learn how to dance Samba and thanks to Teacher Mishel, I have finally learned Samba! I cannot recommend this program enough. Her instruction is professional, clear, and fun. You get to see her personality and it is the best money I’ve ever spent. Thank you! Obrigada 🙏🏽

In Stage 1, we will slowly learn the basics of Brazil.
They will teach you in detail. The videos have no expiration date, so you can practice repeatedly whenever you like. I have improved my dancing skills through Michelle’s online course. I’m currently taking an advanced course, and I’ve been scouted by a Japanese samba team. It is recommended.

I really enjoyed this course. I have been dancing Samba for over a year and I did this course wearing heels, which I rarely used in my in-person classes. These classes helped me to feel more confident dancing while wearing heels. I enjoyed the explanations, bonus videos and the stretching video was incredible! I recommend this course to beginners or any intermediate/advance students who want to practice the basics with heels.

This program was fun, well-designed and challenging without being unachievable. Mishel gives excellent instruction and manages to be encouraging without physically being in the room. The other thing I loved was the scaled approach – especially when trying to learn how to co-ordinate steps and arm movements. Good fun for at home and value for money.

I really have no grace at all, i’m so bad at dance! I wanted to test samba because i think its sexy and makes great legs and butt. Mishel is really beautiful and also a good teacher. I’m so satisfied i would buy next level just to challenge myself! thank you!
