Adults and Youth – Brazilian Samba

Movement Artistry was stablished by Stepharina to provide a space for one to explore and expand their artistic freedom. Nestled in the history-rich exclave of Jalan Besar, Singapore, the studio aims to impart valuable knowledge to all who seeks. The studios specialises in a variety of dance genres, namely Brazilian Samba, which features Quick rhythmic steps and a swaying rocking motion’ Afro Brazilian, which are dances at celebrations in honor of the Orixas (Gods often linked to the forces of nature) and Baile Funk, made popular by the streets of the favelas in Brazil, a dance that honours the heritage of its people.
