A little bit of Melbourne rain won’t dampen our spirits. We are heading out to the Warrandyte Festival tomorrow to bring the Brazilian heat to the riverside!

We’ll be joined by the stunning Samba do Sul dancers to make sure the energy is explosive, rain or shine. Grab your umbrellas and come find the loudest, most colourful crew at the festival.

Join us as we bring the noise through the streets in the festival parade! Then catch us at 2 pm on the main stage for our full high-energy showcase.

We can't wait to see the community out in force!

Melbourne, what a weekend! The Melbourne Samba Encontro and Moonee Valley Festival was an absolute marathon, and it is fair to say it took it out of us. From the explosive energy at Collingwood Town Hall to Sunday morning in Moonee Ponds and then the massive Sunday afternoon on Southbank, we left it all on the floor.

To make sure we can bring that signature Brazilian heat back to our sessions, we have decided to cancel this week's class. Our drummers need a moment to recharge the batteries after the loudest, most colourful weekend of the year!

This Thursday (19 March): No class — Rest and recovery.
Next Thursday (26 March): We are back! Normal time, full energy.

Thank you for being part of such an epic Encontro. We cannot wait to see you all next week to keep the rhythm going!

Our hearts are absolutely bursting after an incredible Sunday at St Kilda Festival! From the first beat to the last, the energy was unmatched.

​We brought the spirit of Brazil to the streets with 3 non-stop hours of drumming:

​Street Roving: Bringing the rhythm to every corner of the fest.

​Drumming Workshop: Seeing you all find your groove was the highlight!

​Supporting .do.sul : Holding down the beat for our incredible passistas.

​It was a scorcher of a day, but the heat had nothing on the love and passion we felt from the crowd. Thank you to everyone who danced, cheered, and sweated it out with us!

​São Paulo? Rio? No, just St Kilda with the O'Ziriguidum family! 🇧🇷🇦🇺

The energy was at this years Pride March was UNSTOPPABLE! 🏳️‍🌈🥁

We danced, we drummed, and we celebrated love in its purest form.

A massive shoutout to our incredible flag bearer, Stéphane! Not only did he lead us with pure grace, but can we talk about his outfit?! He handmade the entire look the night before the march! ✨

Thank you, Melbourne, for the love! Axé! ✊🏾✨
