Round-trip hotel transport and expert guidance eliminate logistics stress, letting you focus on an authentic evening of Brazilian artistry.

Deciding where to go and what to do on a night out in Rio can be difficult for out-of-town visitors. Avoid taking your chances and go for a breathtaking live traditional dance show with various Brazilian cultural expressions with rhythms, performances, dances and a good taste of samba and carnival.

Accompanied by a guide, just a few meters from the stage, watch a majestic performance by an incredible group of singers, dancers and skilled capoeira performers radiating energy before the stunned audience in a vibe that can only be felt in Rio.

Just before the show, assimilate into the samba dance joining in a 30-minute workshop taking the first steps from professional dancers.

Attending the show can be fun, but getting there can be tricky. Our planning allows you to focus on the experience hassle-free with assistance on anything to keep you in the pace of the show.

Insider tips

  • ★Wear comfortable clothes and shoes for the samba workshop—you'll be dancing alongside professionals, so go in with an open mind rather than perfect technique
  • ★Arrive at your hotel a few minutes early; pick-up times in Rio traffic can shift, and guides often work with tight evening schedules
  • ★The venue is intimate and energetic; sit back and let the performers' energy lift you—participation is encouraged but never forced

Good to know

  • •Duration is 4 hours total, including transport, workshop, and show
  • •Wear smart-casual or dressy attire; this is a curated cultural evening, not a casual bar experience
  • •Bring minimal valuables; secure lockers or leave items at your hotel when possible
  • •The venue is wheelchair-accessible, though the samba workshop involves standing and movement—contact supplier in advance if mobility is a concern
