Join Us
The Suffolk School of Samba is unique in that we combine choreographed dance and Brazilian percussion into every performance and therefore we have a rough 50/50 split between dancers and drummers in our membership. Though the odd person gives both a try, most prefer either to dance or drum. Please note: you must be 18 years of age or older to join. See the Join FAQ for more!
Join the Band
Keen to join our bloco of drummers? No experience necessary! If you have a heartbeat, you can learn to drum and we can teach you! If you are interested in joining us, please drop us an email ( This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. ) and we'll give you details of our rehearsal times and venue and you are welcome to come along and have a go! You will start learning by doing straight away and you will know soon enough that it's for you!
