My knees are not up to high energy samba on demand. I was also going to perform at the Havana Room but I need to take care of myself so I can dance another day! If we all meet somewhere and you want to learn some moves I'd be happy to share....

I may be teaching (informally) a beginning samba class if I can borrow a coupla surdos (I have the rest of the gear). Msg me - I may not check the thread...

I danced w/ Jacques Barnes at Alice Arts Center in Oakland, then with Edilson Lima's group in Chicago, and now i'm down in NZ making it up as I go along!!!! So it sounds like I should bring my gold set to be coordinated with ya! I can try to see about a headdress too, it's tough since they don't like feathers @ burning man because of the clean up fiasco it makes for the Earth Guardians..... There just doesn't seem to be a worthy feather substitution for a samba headdress! Any ideas? This will be fun!!!! ~Jenny Mon, 16 Jul 2007 03:16:02 GMT http://BurningSamba.tribe.net/thread/303e44a9-bea2-4fad-a2a1-f91f885573a5#48af2690-de3d-4ec7-af58-c9d0ab34cf0b Jenny 2007-07-16T03:16:02Z http://BurningSamba.tribe.net/thread/303e44a9-bea2-4fad-a2a1-f91f885573a5#af1c3d08-8b9b-4f44-8c39-cbdd1d84bc62 yay! So glad to hear the samba spirits are high and dancing will ensue. What would we do without your dusty samba prowess!?

I've got a red and gold feather bra, just have to make the bikini bottom and a non-moopy headdress that won't cost too much and some boot covers..... And I've also got tons of Batucada, Axe and Samba Reggae tunes to choose from.... So we need about 2 more experienced dancers (guys welcome!)...

I am an experienced sambista currently living in New Zealand, but originally from the bay area in California.... I teach Afro-Carribean Samba in Wellington. I would love to team up on the playa for a performance, that's why I joined this tribe! I can bring an iridescent royal blue or gold bra and belt set and I have some white patent leather samba boots which have already seen the playa...... Let me know! ~Jenny Tue, 12 Jun 2007 23:23:25 GMT http://BurningSamba.tribe.net/thread/303e44a9-bea2-4fad-a2a1-f91f885573a5#0aa2528d-85e4-484b-ad7f-e561f89af8ba Jenny 2007-06-12T23:23:25Z http://BurningSamba.tribe.net/thread/303e44a9-bea2-4fad-a2a1-f91f885573a5#c23ae381-f65b-4b5a-ae18-67c4817f761a Hello my lovely sambistas! As some of you may know, I had knee surgery this January and still getting my ass back to climbing stairs at the present moment. For this reason, I am not planning on teaching Samba but that may change. HOWEVER: Fallen Angel of The Havana Room has invited me to do a little performance on the playa.... REQUEST: 2 or 3 experienced samba dancers to team up with me on the playa for a short choreographed performance on the stage of the Havana Room...we'll put together costume idea, choose some music, get a few moves down.... NO STRESS, JUST FUN. For more info: tribes.tribe.net/havanaroom/ Answer this thread and tell me if you're interested....
