About Escola de Samba Melbourne
Escola de Samba Melbourne is a dedicated school of Brazilian dance based in Brunswick, bringing authentic samba to the city as a branch of Australia's foremost Brazilian dance school. Following Carlinhos Salgueiro's world-renowned technique, it offers a genuine, energetic way to learn one of Brazil's most joyful dance forms in a welcoming, community-minded setting.
Classes are structured to take complete beginners from their very first steps through to intermediate level, with a popular five-week beginner course making it easy to dive in. The teaching is widely praised for its energy and inclusivity, with students who have barely danced before describing how welcomed and at ease they feel, and how every class leaves them smiling.
Beyond the studio, the school connects dancers to the wider samba world, including an online studio and the chance to parade in Rio Carnaval. Whether you are chasing a fun midweek lift, a fitness-focused dance outlet or a path toward serious samba skills, this Brunswick school delivers great music, immaculate vibes and an unmistakable sense of community.
