The JuntaSamba Semi-Pro Team

Pre-Professional Training & Performance Team


The JuntaSamba Semi-Pro Team is the pre-professional division of the company, created for dancers who want to train more seriously, gain stage experience, and be part of a performance team environment.

The Semi-Pro Team is not a drop-in class. It is a committed training group that works together over several months toward performance opportunities.

Dancers train in heels, learn choreography, work on synchronization, formations, stage presence, and develop the discipline and teamwork required in a performance environment.

During the Semi-Pro training, dancers work on:

  • Choreography

  • Team formations and synchronization

  • Stage presence and performance quality

  • Dancing in heels

  • Performance preparation

  • Building a 10–15 minute show

  • Working as a team

  • Understanding stage and show environments

  • Professionalism and performance etiquette

Throughout the session, we actively look for performance opportunities for the team. While performances cannot be guaranteed, the objective of the Semi-Pro Team is to prepare dancers for real stage experience and performance settings.

Performances are part of the training process and are not paid performances. The Semi-Pro Team is a training and performance experience designed to help dancers grow and gain stage experience.

Limited Team members: Only 10 spots available!
