At the heart of BrasArte’s mission is a deep commitment to cultural preservation and exchange. Over the years, they have supported the preservation of Brazil’s traditional dances and music while fostering connections between aging artists and emerging talent. Their initiatives include organizing tours and workshops featuring artists directly from Brazil, such as Bahia’s first Bloco Afro, Ile Aiye, and one of the oldest samba de roda groups, Nicinha Raizes de Santo Amaro.
BrasArte has hosted world-class artists like Rosangela Silvestre, Marcelo Chocolate, Margareth Menezes, and more, solidifying their place as a leading cultural institution in the Bay Area.
Youth and Community Programs

With an extensive scholarship program—supporting over 50% of participants—BrasArte ensures that all children, regardless of background, can experience and learn from Brazil’s rich artistic traditions.
Dance and Music Classes
Weekly dance and music classes led by local and international teachers are at the core of BrasArte’s programming. These classes not only focus on Brazilian arts but also include West African dance and dance conditioning, offering students of all skill levels a chance to engage with the rhythms and movements of Brazilian culture.
