ABOUT US

Almas Brasileiras offers outdoor samba classes in Barcelona, focused on rhythm, movement, and connection.

Every Sunday at 11:00, our community comes together at Plaça de la Rosa dels Vents for a samba practice led by Roxy.

Our connection continues beyond Sundays, with opportunities to meet during the week and take part in festivals and events that help samba culture grow in Barcelona.

Meet Roxy

"Samba has shaped my life in ways I could never have imagined. I am beyond grateful for the people I have met through samba and the opportunities it has given me."

Roxy is a passionate dancer with a background in classical dance. Her samba journey began in Brazil in 2012, when she travelled to Rio de Janeiro to study Portuguese. It was there that she fell in love with the energy of live samba music, although it wasn't until 2017, while living in London, that she took her first samba class at the London School of Samba.

Over the next eight years, Roxy trained and performed with the London School of Samba, taking part in carnivals, festivals and cultural events across the UK and internationally. Alongside this, she returned to Brazil several times to deepen her training with renowned samba dancers and fulfil a lifelong dream of parading in the iconic Rio Carnival.

In 2025, Roxy moved to Barcelona and founded Almas Brasileiras.
