Starting in small groups with a professional percussionist, your group is taught the basics of samba beats and breaks . By using a variety of rhythm based warm up activities, they soon move to real instruments with each group learning different activities and rhythms. As the confidence and ability grows, the groups are brought together in preparation for a stunning and pulsating finale of epic proportions.Duration – 3 hoursYou can visit the activity onhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a_eKSjiagPI
