It’s been a crazy time for all of us. We hope everyone is staying healthy and taking care of themselves as best they can. Here’s an update on what’s happening in (virtual) Funkquaria.
OAKLAND CARNIVAL
For the health of our community, we are postponing the Oakland Carnival outdoor festival scheduled for June 6th, 2020. We are looking at ways to recreate the Oakland Carnival spirit online. Stay tuned for updates as this experience takes a new form.
#SAMBACHURCH RETURNS!
#SambaChurch returns …on Zoom! We’ll come together again as a community and connect to our joy and culture through dance.
When: Every Sunday (starting April 26th) 4-5pm PST
Price: $10. Please send via paypal (sambafunky@gmail.com).
How to sign up: Register here to save your spot. Once you register, you’ll get a confirmation email with the meeting link and login info.
DAILY DANCE BREAKS
Join us M-F at 4pm each day for pop-up daily dance breaks. To join, follow us on Instagram (@sambafunk) or Facebook.
How it works:
On Instagram, we go live at 4pm. Look for the “live” sign on our profile pic or on the stories navigation at the top of the app. On Instagram, the posts disappear after they are live.
On Facebook, you can go to our page at 4pm if you don’t see the link pop up in your feed. On Facebook these live events are saved to the timeline, so you can go back and watch later if you miss it right at 4pm. (If you’re already Facebook friends with Theo, you might have accessed the pop-up classes through his personal page. But starting next week the dance breaks will move to the public SambaFunk! Facebook page).
WELLNESS ACTIVATIONS
Join us at 6:30am M-F (on Instagram only) for daily #bodycharge. We are also on day 4 of a 30-day Hydration and 100 Squats challenge. It’s not too late to join! Recharge your battery, devote time for yourself, awaken and connect your Mind Body & Soul.
PATREON UPDATE
We’re still working on developing Patreon classes. The intention of these will be to share specific choreo tutorials. We’ll post an update again when these are ready. Thanks to those who have already signed up!
