Samba New York's Carnaval Samba Party

Praised by Brazil’s Estado de São Paulo newspaper as “the most famous and active ‘school of samba’ in New York City,” Samba New York! has brought the richness and exhilaration of Rio’s samba traditions to some of the most prestigious venues, events, and media platforms in NYC and beyond—including Central Park SummerStage, the WITNESS Gala hosted by Peter Gabriel, ESPN’s 2014 Upfront at the Minskoff Theatre, TV Globo’s O Jornal Nacional, the Today Show, and Dr. Oz Show. Having grown up immersed in Rio’s samba world, Danielle Lima is one of NYC’s foremost Brazilian dancers and founder of the Brasileirando Dance Group.
