Amazing dance class which I highly recommend. Charly was great at communicating details about the class and location prior to the class and Rohanna was a fabulous instructor. Such a fun class for all levels of dancers!!

Amazing samba class with Carla in Ipanema. She was super friendly, professional, and made everything easy to follow—even for beginners.
The class was fun, energetic, and very well organized. Carla creates a great atmosphere and really helps you connect with the rhythm and spirit of samba.
Highly recommended if you’re visiting Rio and want a unique local experience. I would definitely do it again!

Booked this for me and my wife as I felt I couldn't visit Rio without having a Samba lesson. I have zero rhythm and my wife, although looking forward to the class, was dreading suffering it next to me. All I can say was that it was great. We were taught a lot of different steps and I felt as though I'd really learned something. My wife also loved it. I highly recommend it.

Great experience at Samba fit this week. I went on my own as I wanted to attend a class. Perfect way to end the last day of my holiday to Brazil
Kelsey_M, Dec 2025
Great teacher, such a fun class!! I really loved how she broke down every single step with us and worked with us until we got it right. I would definitely do this again.

My wife and I loved our first class so much that we made time to come back for a 2nd class a few days later. Carla is a great instructor. She adjusts to each participant's skill level and works consistently to ensure that everyone makes progress and leaves feeling good about the experience. We definitely aren't experts, but we left with the confidence to step out on the Brazilian floor!
BTW, it's also great exercise!

Gaby was a great teacher! It was our time doing samba and we had so much fun! She made sure to go around when she saw you were struggling, cheer you on and make you feel the music and the costumes!
Anetra_R, Nov 2025
Gabby was a great instructor. She made the steps easy to learn and gave a little extra help to those that needed more attention. I like how we got to try on a Carnival costume at the end and take pictures. An added bonus is the studio takes pictures and videos of you during class and sends it to you immediately after class ended. It’s a MUST do in Rio. I will definitely go back again! It’s a really fun class if you like to dance.
Venus_S, Nov 2025
Samba class was very fun. The teacher was very kind in repeating steps as necessary for all of us to get the moves. I highly recommend. So much fun.
Jessica_N, Nov 2025
Ranaa was so nice and patient. We had a great time learning about Samba and learning the moves. Would definitely recommend the class! I also appreciated Charly for confirming attendance the night before
Jill_W, Oct 2025
Lots of fun. Very patient and kind teacher. I recommend this samba class for anyone. We plan taking more lessons it was so much fun together.
Khaleesi_R, Oct 2025
This was a great introduction to samba if you are looking for a rich cultural experience. My husband and I are novice dancers at best and Carla tailored the class to us to make us feel included and confident! It was a great full body workout. I highly recommend this experience!
James_B, Oct 2025
So much fun! My wife (who doesn't consider herself a dancer) was all smiles. We loved it. Anna is an an excellent teacher!
RAFAEL_D, Oct 2025
Karla is a fantastic samba instructor who creates a welcoming and encouraging environment for beginners. Her teaching style is both engaging and supportive, making it easy for newcomers to feel confident and have fun while learning. Highly recommended Samba Fit for anyone looking to experience samba with a positive vibe!
Ruth_M, Sept 2025
We had so much fun! Samba is really an art and it was fun to see how it really works. You will sweat and you will laugh ☺️
Eunice_A, Aug 2025
My sister said it was the most fun she had on this trip. I see it like a Zumba class but beginner level and I liked it
Nomads_W, Jun 2025
Start stretching a week before your class. 🤣
This class is truly amazing and very energetic. I used muscles and movements which I haven’t done in years and I felt so energized afterwards!!!
Ariel_M, Jun 2025
Gabby was a great samba instructor! She was very patient and proficient in teaching us samba moves. I recommend this class to anyone that loves to have fun while burning calories!
Arianna_O, Jun 2025
Loved my experience with Carla! She was a phenomenal teacher and encouraged us to keep going even when we felt like our rhythm couldn’t keep up with the samba pace lol. Thank you!
Krysii_P, Jun 2025
So amazing. It's a full workout but absolutely fun
The instructors are absolutely amazing, patient and talented. As soon as you book you get a video with directions so you won't get lost and then step by step guidance.
Water is provided.
Wear sneakers.
Teena_L, Jun 2025
Instructor Gaby was phenomenal. This is such a fun class. It’s slow paced and great way to learn Samba. If you are in Rio this is the place to go. Thank you all again.
Thomas_C, May 2025
Amazing experience with Carla who was very patient and a brilliant teacher would definitely recommend.
