Event Overview

Learn the basics of Samba and explore its variations in our World Heritage Dance Series experience. Samba is the most recognized dance in Brazil and originates from Rio de Janeiro. Samba reaches the height of its importance during the festival of Carnaval and is a fusion of African-influenced dance and European sounds. The term "samba" originates and refers to multiple Latin dances with connections to the Congo and Angola. The regional styles of samba and fun combinations are explored in this aerobic class, giving you a truly authentic Brazilian experience with Dill Costa.

Raised in Rio de Janeiro, Dill (pronounced ‘Jill’) is one of the only experts in samba dance and performance. As a regular dancer in some of Brazil’s best known escolas de samba (samba ‘schools’) — groups of hundreds of musicians and dancers in one of the greatest festivals on Earth — Dill is one of the only performers in Chicago who represents the authentic Carnaval music that is part of Brazil’s rich musical legacy. She has held many titles in samba schools including ‘Queen of the Percussion Section’.

Besides samba, Dill is an expert in jazz, tap, modern, and folk dance of Brazil. She was an instructor of Brazilian regional dance forms for many years. Since relocating to Chicago in 2003, Dill has dedicated herself to music and can be seen regularly singing with the Evanston Escola de Samba, Cor do Brasil, and her own trio, singing the classics of Brazilian samba, bossa nova, and Brazilian jazz and pop. Her repertoire ranges from classic 1940’s era sambas of Ary Barroso and Noel Rosa, to the cool, 1960’s bossa nova hits of Antonio Carlos Jobim, to the modern Brazilian pop of Caetano Veloso and Carlinhos Brown.
