The Boulder Samba School is a cultural arts organization whose mission is to educate and enliven our community about the rich heritage of Brazilian music, dance, and culture through the offerings of classes, workshops, performances, and festivals.

We are a non-profit  501(c)3 organization  founded in 2009. As the first of its kind in the area, it has since been the inspiration for many organizations in our state. 

Bateria Alegria is the primary performing ensemble of the Boulder Samba School. The 20-30 member ensemble plays percussion-based styles of music from the samba schools and blocos of Rio de Janeiro and Salvador, Brazil.
