Samba Schools are community organizations in Brazil that focus on the performance and promotion of Samba, a lively and rhythmic music and dance style. These schools play a crucial role in the annual Carnival celebrations, where they compete in elaborate parades featuring colorful floats, costumes, and choreographed dance routines. Each school represents a neighborhood and showcases its unique culture and history through its performances. Members of Samba Schools include dancers, musicians, and artists who work together year-round to prepare for the Carnival. They hold rehearsals, create costumes, and design floats, fostering a strong sense of community and collaboration. The schools are judged on various criteria during the parades, and the winning school receives recognition and prestige within the Samba community.
