What is a samba and carnival show?

Samba dancers perform fast, rhythmic Brazilian-style routines in bright carnival costumes with feathered backpieces, sequins and headdresses. It is loud, colourful and full of energy, and it gets people moving.

Dancers can perform a short show, lead a conga onto the dance floor or parade through the venue, and they can be paired with live drummers for a full carnival feel. Carnival dancers with metallic wings also work as striking walkabout.

Where it works best

  • Summer parties

    Carnival colour for a garden or terrace.

  • Dance floor starters

    A short set that pulls everyone up.

  • Launches

    Energy and colour for a reveal.

  • Weddings

    A surprise burst of carnival for the evening.

  • Around-the-world themes

    A Rio moment in a themed night.

  • Festivals and fun days

    Parades and walkabout through the crowd.

Tips from our team

  1. 1

    Time it for the turn

    The moment the dancing starts is when samba has the most impact.

  2. 2

    Add live drums

    Samba dancers with live percussion is far bigger than dancers to a track.

  3. 3

    Allow for the backpieces

    Feathered backpieces are wide. Doorways and walkways need a little extra room.
