About
PURO SUCO is a new samba dance school in Rotterdam, the Netherlands.
In Brazil, puro suco (‘pure juice’) refers to the real essence of something.
Here, that something is Rio-style samba no pé: the dance style of the passistas at the heart of Rio de Janeiro’s Carnaval.
We teach it the way we learned it, straight from the source.
