SambaFunk! “Carnaval Explosion” with King Theo

SambaFunk! is a great dance, fitness, cultural workout. Combining the cultural elements of Brasilian Bahia style Carnaval Bloco with African American Funk, SambaFunk! is a cool way to move your body, get into shape, build cardio endurance, physical stamina and learn the latest dance moves.

The Funkquarians are the regular participants in the SambaFunk! community.  This includes all the dancers, musicians, and associated friends and family.  The Funktyme Playah’s are a group of Funkquarians who play for the SambaFunk! class and various performances.

Instructor and former King of San Francisco Carnaval, Theo Aytchan Williams takes dancers on a cultural journey through out the Diaspora of Funky Carnaval movement not just in dance class.   The Funkquarians had a big contingent in 2011 Carnaval, and 2012 is going to be even bigger!
