Oi, gente! 👋🇧🇷
Our amazing Dance Director, Holly, is back from Rio. She is overflowing with inspiration and excited to bring that energia 💫 back to Bristol to share with us at Bloco B.
From our Godmother school Portela to the iconic pink and green of Mangueira, the energy of the streets to the raw passion at Sapucaí…
