Thank you Isabella!
Isabella was a positive, bright, and patient instructor. She’s so encouraging and exudes a safe, comfortable presence. Her studio has a beautiful terrace view of Ipanema and she provides cool water and glasses. Highly recommend!

Unreliable provider
Was at the door on time, the doorman didn't let me in, told me it wasn't there so I left. The provider contacted to let me know that the doorman made a mistake as he is new. They wanted for me to get back but I already had left. Now the do not want to refund me because they said I was a now show, when I was there at the specified time.
Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your experience. We prioritize clear coordination at all our venues, and we appreciate your feedback as we work on improvements to prevent such issues in the future.

Rio de Janeiro 1-Hour Small-Group Samba Dance Class: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Rio de Janeiro.
How much does Rio de Janeiro 1-Hour Small-Group Samba Dance Class cost?
+
Prices start at $58 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Rio de Janeiro usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Rio de Janeiro 1-Hour Small-Group Samba Dance Class take?
+
Plan for about 1 hour from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Rio de Janeiro is not rushed.
Is Rio de Janeiro 1-Hour Small-Group Samba Dance Class worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 53 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.4/5 across 9 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Rio de Janeiro, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Rio de Janeiro 1-Hour Small-Group Samba Dance Class?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Rio de Janeiro 1-Hour Small-Group Samba Dance Class suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Rio de Janeiro 1-Hour Small-Group Samba Dance Class?
+
Around 3 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Rio de Janeiro can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Rio de Janeiro and add a light layer if any part of the 1-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Rio de Janeiro 1-Hour Small-Group Samba Dance Class start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Rio de Janeiro within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Rio de Janeiro?
+
On Outty we rank every Rio de Janeiro experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Pedra da Gávea hike, your best experience in Rio, Favela Tour Rio de Janeiro - Vidigal Walking Tour by Russo Guide, Rio's Full Day: Selarón Steps, Christ & Sugarloaf – Tickets & Lunch Included. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Rio de Janeiro?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Rio de Janeiro?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Rio de Janeiro 1-Hour Small-Group Samba Dance Class?
+
Included: Samba Class; Samba Teacher; and Water. Not included: Food. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Rio de Janeiro 1-Hour Small-Group Samba Dance Class?
+
Find your instructor at the door. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Rio de Janeiro 1-Hour Small-Group Samba Dance Class offered in?
+
It is offered in Portuguese, English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Rio de Janeiro 1-Hour Small-Group Samba Dance Class?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
What happens to Rio de Janeiro 1-Hour Small-Group Samba Dance Class if the weather is bad?
+
