Hire Samba do Coracao for your next event- your guests will marvel at the performance; the costumes, caliber of dancing and music are fantastic and you will remember them for years to come. I have worked with Mary and her Company on several occasions and I have always been extremely happy with the results. I highly recommend Mary and Samba do Coracao."

Thank you and your ensemble for performing at our “Degadance” event at the Legion of Honor museum. Although much effort were put into the decor, food, and libations, your group was what really brought the event to life! Your beautiful costumes, Brazilian beat and authentic dances were the highlight of the evening!
