WELCOME TO
We are a collective of dancers, musicians, artists and community members, bringing to life the essence of Carnaval in our work. Through African Diaspora infused artistic techniques, we provide opportunities for dancers to grow, become in touch with themselves and learn the core elements of Brazilian dance. Check out our Classes for more information on how to get and stay involved. If you’re new to our universe, start with the Our Roots, where you can find information on who we are.
Samba Church Dances Classes
Step
SambaFunk!’s primary way of service is through our weekly dance classes. Our main Sunday class, which we lovingly call SambaFunk! Sundays sambachurch, is held at the historic Malonga Casquelourd Center for the Arts and full of energy, positive dance instruction, and community building.
Into
We, however, believe that our impact must expand beyond the dance floors of sambachurch and therefore, have a commitment as Funkquaraians to ensure we preserve the historic cultural art, music, and dance spaces that help our community thrive.
Health
We take our cultural message into the streets and directly to the communities we serve. We are active in the San Francisco / Oakland Arts community and often are found drumming for progressive movements. SambaFunk! is made of an army of volunteers with ranging levels for artistic talent and education levels including many members with Masters and Post-Doctorate degrees. We are brought together by dance but remain united by love for our people.
