Hire Samba Charlotte and bring RIO to your event!
Autumn and Andreia were amazing they made my crazy hour at my wedding so much fun. Everyone had so much fun taking photos and dancing with them. Both of them are amazing dancers, I would recommend them for any party.
The ladies were professional and sweet. The crowd loved them. The perfect addition to any Hora Loca!
The girls gave a super special touch to our intimate wedding. All the guess loved them. Very professional and super easy to work with last minute changes.
We hired Andreai and three other samba dancers for the reception of our daughter's wedding in Asheville on August 12, 2017. Wow!, is all I can say. The dancers injected life into the reception and everyone was dancing for the two hours they were there. We passed out beads, light wands, light hats, and headpieces to our guests and it looked amazing.
Thank you for an unforgettable evening!
