This Friday evening join WeClick CIC and The Samba Girls for an uplifting evening exploring samba as more than simply a dance.

Inspired by the Brazilian tradition of comunidade, where samba schools act as vital community spaces bringing neighbours, families and generations together, this inclusive session will celebrate identity, belonging and collective joy through rhythm, movement and storytelling.

Participants will learn accessible samba movements, explore the cultural and community roots of carnival and experience the energy of moving together. No previous dance experience is needed, and movements can be adapted to suit different abilities.
