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

Festivals and fun days
Parades and walkabout through the crowd.
Launches

Summer parties

Dance floor starters

Tips from our team

1
Allow for the backpieces
Feathered backpieces are wide. Doorways and walkways need a little extra room.
2
Time it for the turn
The moment the dancing starts is when samba has the most impact.
3
Add live drums
Samba dancers with live percussion is far bigger than dancers to a track.
