Our mission is to provide a platform where people can come together, learn, and grow, while promoting respect for the Brazilian culture and the art of samba. We believe that dance has the power to transform lives, and we are committed to helping our students achieve their fitness and wellbeing goals.

Our Story

Fisica Dance was founded by Sophie Contreras, a samba instructor, latin dancer, trained Physiotherapist, and Pilates Instructor. Sophie has been teaching samba around Melbourne since 2015 and has extensive experience in dance, fitness, and wellbeing. Her passion for dance and movement led her to create Fisica Dance, a platform where she could share her knowledge and skills with others.

Our Services

We offer a range of services, including Brazilian Samba classes, dance performance and competition opportunities, online classes, Brazilian dance shows for events, and dance classes for parties and events. We also collaborate with Brazilian artists from Rio and Sao Paulo, as well as other samba schools and latin dance schools in Melbourne and around Australia, to provide our students with a diverse and enriching experience.

Our Classes

Our Brazilian Samba classes are designed to cater to students of all levels, from complete beginners to professionally trained dancers. We pride ourselves on maintaining respect for the Brazilian culture as foreigners representing the art of samba outside of Brazil. Our senior team training provides students with the opportunity to perform and compete, and even travel to Brazil to take part in the famous Rio Carnaval.

Our Vision

Our vision is to provide a welcoming and inclusive environment where students can come together, learn, and grow. We believe that dance and movement have the power to transform lives, and we are committed to helping our students achieve their fitness and wellbeing goals. Whether you're a seasoned dancer or a complete beginner, we invite you to join us on this journey of discovery and growth.
