Carnaval Brasileiro Pre-Party 2014 Speakeasy, SHAKE IT!
The first of two official Pre Parties for Carnaval Brasileiro with the Austin Samba School.



We found the drums and dancers warming up back stage. There was spontaneous shakin' goin on all over the place!





Yeah, these girls love to dance. Then, they all lined up and filed out towards the stage.

The tiny stage couldn't hold them all, they shuffled on/off in groups. The drums never stop, the dancers never stop.



I managed to jump in for a quick pic. What else would you expect from me?




Then, Kat started Dancing!

Follow the hat...


Even he seemed surprised when she threw it down for some impromptu hat dancing.

Then they all filed backstage again, we followed. That is where the real party was!



Less organization, just drums everywhere and dancing all over the room. That was fun!


First Video below is when they all filed out to the stage. Second is the party in the back room after the main event on stage.
