George Louzada Returns to London for Samba Masterclass Series
July 2025 We’re thrilled to welcome back George Louzada (@gelouzadaoficial) — award-winning Artistic Director, Passista Director, and choreographer from our Godmother School in Rio, Mocidade Independente de Padre Miguel (@mocidadeoficial).
From 20–23 July 2025, George will be in London for an exclusive series of samba workshops — a rare chance to train with one of Brazil’s most respected professionals. George has helped shape the careers of samba stars like Gabi Mendes, Dedê Marinho, and Laryssa Bayer. This series is a must for dancers preparing for Notting Hill Carnival, aiming for Rainha da Bateria, or simply looking to refine their technique and stay ahead in the global samba scene.
