These gals made the night!!! They turned out Casino night into a total party. Less than the cost of third party agencies and twice the entertainment value! Johanna is great. read more

I met these ladies several years ago when she was performing for our mutual friend's birthday at his club in San Jose. My eyes pretty much bugged out of my head, my jaw hit the floor, and the audience was in awe the entire time. Since that day, I have seen this group perform at several events, and have even had the privilege to take dance classes from Johana. What this group does is a true testament to womanhood; watching them is empowering, unlike the competitive nature of similar acts I have encountered. Another aspect that truly amazes me is how they can serve so many people all at once- not just at a single event. The troupe will divide to attend bookings all over the Bay Area, sometimes hitting several venues in a single evening. Beyonce wishes she had superpowers like these! read more

I was looking for 2 samba performers for my husband's birthday party and found Samba Conmigo.

On the day of the performance, Johana and Tica were amazing! They are truly professional dancers who love what they do. Their costumes were stunning (just like from Brazilian carnival). More formal banquet turned out to be a true party because guests couldn't resist dancing with girls. Their energy and smiles were contagious. Not only the guests filled up the dance floor in minutes but dancers were encouraging taking pictures and gladly posed with guests. It was so much fun!! Johana and Tica stayed with guests even longer than a contact specified and wrote wishes in a guest signing book. Such a personal approach!

Ever since I visited são paulo, brasil a few years ago, I became so obsessed with the food and culture. It`s been 5 years now since I visited....I`ve always wanted to do samba and found johana through yelp and let me tell you, she`s very professional and patient. I prefer rio style (on your toes) over the other one. Unfortunatly, I was able to attend only 1 class for I think $60? Samba works with your butt, legs, hips, and back posture....all the places where I want to work on. Great workout and don`t worry if you`re slow with choreography like I am. Johana will try her best to teach you the moves and eventually, you`ll be moving your hips like a pro. I really wish I was pro. Obrigada. read more

Im a hair and makeup artist in the wedding industry for over 10 years. Through the years I collected ideas so I can make my wedding day as special as I have collectively imagined. I got this fire dance idea from a Hawaii wedding I attended and though to have one on my wedding day in the Bay as an entertainment for my guest. It was a way to get guest off their chair and enjoy the Bay Area scene from the balcony of the Ranch Golf Course. It was a 30 minute fire dance with 2 amazingly talented, sweet, and gorgeous dancers. Our guest family and all my venders were thrilled and enjoyed their unique and entertaining moves. Jhoanne, was very easy to talk to. After our first phone chat, all other communication was through text which was my preference and all payment/invoice/ we're through email as I requested--accommodating. She was very easy to work with. I will definitely refer all my clients to you Jhoanne! Thank you! You can view some of my post of their dancers on my Instagram @studiocathyHM read more

Thank you Johana and Tica for your performance at our school's cultural arts day event celebrating Brazil this morning. Your performance was fantastic.
