The London School of Samba is a Latin American performance group, open to all ages and levels, with our main mission to allow people to experience the feel and emotion of Brazilian arts through Samba.

Our entry will consist of numerous bright and vivid sections all represented through dance and music!

Fun Fact:

The London School of Samba played their first official gig at Covent Garden Piazza on April 1st 1984. In that same year, we also became the very first Samba School to play at the Notting Hill Carnival! Another fun fact that few people know, is that all of our costumes are lovingly handmade by our Samba dancers and for those interested, we offer costume making workshops.
