#Repost @milagredancers ・・・ Finally got to film something from our Advanced Samba Class by @annemarjukka !!!😄We are keeping this class in a new location at @helsinkidancecentral and the space is working really well for us! Thank you @freddymarinho for renting it!🙏🏼👏🏽😊💃🏼 Since the fall season started we’ve been consentrating to get familiar with #sambadiva #method by @carlinhossalgueiro_oficial and trying to remember all the important things from his workshop for teachers in Stocholm in August. It really has made a difference - most of the students started to get much more strenght to samba no pé and have ”cleaned” many of other movements too. We still have lot of work to do but that’s the best thing in samba! You can allways learn more and get better 😅💪🏼✨#sambaclass #sambatunnit #sambanopé #samba #sambadiva #passistastyle #divastyle #batucada #carlinhosdosalgueiro #milagredancers #sörnäinen #kamppi #helsinki #finland #helsinkidancecentral #tanssikouluhdc #hdc
