What a fantastic experience! Thanks Renato for being such a good guide and host and turned out a real party figure! We’ve been lucky as it was the time for the technical rehearsal in the Sambodromo (the venue where the carnival take place) so it was like a mini carnival for us looking at the wonderful show the Mocidade Alegre samba school delivered. The fun did not stop here, as we joined a real samba party with Sociedade Rosas de Ouro samba school. Watching all singing together in circle around the musicians, feel how much more samba is then a dance and how brings people all together. Agains, special thanks to Renato!
Thank you for your amazing feedback! We’re thrilled you had such a fantastic experience at the samba rehearsal and party. Renato is indeed passionate about sharing the energy and culture of the carnival. We’re happy you got to experience this mini carnival and the real samba vibes with the Mocidade Alegre samba school and Sociedade Rosas de Ouro. We hope to welcome you again for more unforgettable moments!
