Bring A Samba Carnival To Your School

Bring a samba carnival to your school! With real Brazilian samba drums, students will play and work together to make exhilarating music. They’ll discover new ways to listen, communicate and express themselves. And they’ll learn about the culture and traditions of Brazil.

Samba is a genre of music originating from Brazil, with roots embedded in Afro-Brazilian traditions. It’s a broad term to describe the multitude of unique rhythms that originated in the communities of Bahai in the late 19th century, and Rio de Janeiro in the early 20th century.

    We are based in Sheffield and typically travel within a 50 to 70-mile radius, covering areas such as South Yorkshire, West Yorkshire, North Yorkshire, Greater Manchester, Lincolnshire, and the Midlands. We can travel further afield, but this may incur extra costs for mileage and potentially accommodation if needed for early morning starts. Schools in more distant locations often collaborate with nearby schools for a two or three-day provision, allowing them to share travel and accommodation costs.

    For African drumming and Samba workshops, we can accommodate up to 240 to 270 children in a day, with sessions capped at 5 to 6 per day. The number of sessions depends on the school’s facilities. If the same room is needed for lunches, it may limit us to 5 sessions. With a separate large room available, we can offer up to 6 sessions. Two-day bookings are also possible, providing a discount for block bookings for schools with over 12 classes. Boomwhackers workshops can accommodate slightly more children, with group sizes of up to 60, potentially covering up to 300 children in a day.

    Yes, we offer focus day packages for 1 to 3 classes. The school may wish to broaden participation to 2 or 3 classes. However, if it is just for one class, and the children are in Year 2 or upwards, we have sufficient material to engage one class for the whole day. This can include convenient breaks, an assembly presentation with a Q&A session, and a performance by the children for the rest of the school and/or their parents. For Reception or Year 1 children, we recommend a half-day program, either in the morning or afternoon, tailored to their shorter attention spans. If there are budget constraints, a half-day option is also available for children older than Reception and Year 1. These options provide a comprehensive experience depending on the school’s preference.
