Single session £ 300 1-hour duration up to 50 delegates.

In these sessions:

Delegates are assigned instruments, taught the basics of Samba, play simple rhythms as a Samba band, devise new rhythms on a theme determined by the client share these rhythms with the group and perform them as a Samba band. The workshops encourage mutual respect, defy hierarchical boundaries and focus the mind on the key messages of the day – all in the ‘feel-good’ energy of making Samba music.

The timings of a single session as part of a wider day of training can be flexible according to the client’s requirements: The Sambatastic workshop is ideal as an icebreaker, starting the day in an innovative, energetic way; great for consolidating the morning or days work in a session before lunch / end of day; and ideal for re-focussing the group in those post- lunchtime doldrums.

Please note all workshops can be tailored to meet your specific needs.
