What is Samba to Gabi?
"Samba is an art form that has a rich history and culture.
It’s a dance that celebrates the body; freedom of expression and it is a dance that transcends negativity and for many in Brazil a very harsh reality of daily life. For me, dancing samba is a transformative experience that I'm grateful to share in New Zealand!"
