Meet Anat: The Samba Dynamo!

Origin Story: Born in Israel, Anat was captivated by Brazilian Samba the moment she saw it. The fast footwork, hip shakes, and full-body grooves synced to drum beats were a perfect match for her high-energy persona!

Inspirations: Anat’s Samba style is a cocktail of traditions! She’s all about:

Samba Rio: Think Rio de Janeiro—sexy moves and feathered costumes galore!
Samba Heggae: Rooted in Salvador, Bahia, this style is rich in Afro-Brazilian flair.

Journey to the U.S.: Anat landed in America in ’92 and dived into the Bay Area’s Samba scene. She trained with legends like Mary Dollar and Samba Do Careucao and has been a staple in San Francisco Carnivale parades for nearly two decades!

Stage & Awards: Anat isn’t just about Samba; she’s a Hustle dance queen too! Remember John Travolta in Saturday Night Fever? That’s the Hustle, and Anat has won national championships in it—three years in a row!
