Get ready to embark on a captivating journey into the vibrant world of Afro-Brazilian culture. Join us at Mestre Bimba's First Ever School that stands as a powerful Quilombo of resistance and resilience, a testament to the cultural elements that have thrived in Salvador despite historical adversities. During the late 19th century, practices such as Capoeira, Samba, and Drumming were met with suspicion and often criminalized. Yet, they have transformed from being persecuted arts into beloved symbols of our Nation’s Identity.

Dive into a truly immersive experience where you’ll engage with professional instructors who are passionate about sharing their heritage. Enjoy a fun and interactive class that will not only teach you the beats and movements but also provide invaluable cultural and historical insights.

By joining us, you contribute to the preservation of traditions that have shaped our past and continue to inspire our present. Feel the rhythm of the music, immerse yourself in the vibrant culture of Salvador, and celebrate the legacy of the Afro-Brazilian communities that have enriched our lives.
