Do you want to know what it takes to dance as a musa for a samba school in Rio de Janeiro? Musas are artists who have a special role in the parade. They walk between different elements and their role is to inspire and represent. They bring their personality, artistry and creativity to the parade. In this workshop Tati Rosa will cover the essentials for a dancer to shine in the Sambadrome Marquês de Sapucaí (or anywhere else in the world). This workshop will cover samba technique, walks, expression and sequences.

Tati Rosa is an accomplished samba artist who dances as a musa with the samba school Imperatriz Leopoldinense in Rio de Janeiro. Representing her school, she became one of the finalists at the Corte do Carnaval competition in 2024. Tati is known for her creativity, musicality and performance. She started dancing at the age of six, and has experience with a wide variety of dance styles and techniques, ranging from ballet and afro to zouk and tango. Tati’s classes are very popular in Rio de Janeiro, especially during the carnaval season, as many dancers seek her out to help them in their preparation. This will be Tati’s first tour of Europe. We are honoured to bring her to the Netherlands and grateful for this unique opportunity to learn from her.
