Afro-Brazilian Fitness is a culturally-rooted dance and fitness program that draws on the rhythms and movement traditions of the African diaspora, with a special focus on Afro-Brazilian forms. Designed for participants of all ages and abilities, this program blends traditional and contemporary Afro-Brazilian dance with modern fitness methodologies to promote holistic health and cultural connection.<\/p>\n
Each session integrates structured warm-ups, isolations, and progressively challenging sequences that enhance strength, coordination, flexibility, and cardiovascular endurance. The curriculum is intentionally crafted to be accessible to beginners while still engaging for experienced movers, offering both muscle toning and aerobic benefits.<\/p>\n
