Passista Prep Training Program 4

Build your technique. Refine your Samba. Prepare for the next level.

The Passista Prep Program is a 14-week intensive training program designed for dancers who want to take their Samba further in a focused and intimate environment.

Led by Selina Melo, you’ll train 2 hours every week in a small group, creating more space for individual attention, personalized corrections and deeper technical work.

The Value of a Smaller Group

A smaller training environment allows your teacher to see more: your habits, strengths and the technical details that can make a real difference in your dancing.

You’ll have more opportunities to ask questions, repeat, receive corrections and understand the movement, while also learning from the dancers around you.

Throughout the program, you’ll work on:

  • Samba no pé technique & foundations

  • Footwork, coordination & precision

  • Body movement & weight transfers

  • Musicality & movement quality

  • Speed, control & endurance

  • Movement vocabulary & transitions

  • Presence & personal expression

  • Individual corrections & technical refinement

The goal isn't simply to learn more steps — it’s to better understand your Samba and develop the tools to keep progressing.

Learn With Selina Melo

Benefit from Selina’s experience as a Samba dancer, performer and teacher as she guides you through the details behind the movement.

You’ll be challenged and supported while having the space to develop at your own pace within a group of dancers who share the same desire to grow.
