Berlin is set to host a series of dance workshops and performances as part of the Samba Syndrom festival.

(TRAVPR.COM) UK - August 17th, 2010 - A taste of Latin America will be coming to Berlin towards the end of next month as the German capital prepares to host the annual Samba Syndrom festival. Taking place between September 23rd and 26th 2010 at FEZ Berlin, the home of Landesmusikakademie Berlin, the event comprises a range of activities that are sure to get visitors' hips shaking and pulses racing.

Tourists eager to get active during their stay in Berlin hotels (http://www.laterooms.com/en/k12936832_berlin-hotels.aspx) can sign up for one of the workshops, which will be run by German and international experts throughout the festival. Patinho Axe, Nilo Sergio and Carlos Da Silva, all of whom are from Berlin, are among the skilled dancers who will be giving tuition, with the former promising to run a class combining samba styles with reggae music.

Youngsters should also be well catered for at this year's event, with Paulo Sommer and his band Cataporas holding sessions for children aged between 11 and 16. However, those who would rather take a more hands-off approach to the world of samba can instead choose to simply sit back, relax and watch one of the evening concerts.

Interested participants can book their places on one of these courses via the Samba Syndrom website, with prices varying for different workshops.

The professional exercises cost €110 (£90.50) per person, while the standard adult tuition is available for just €75 per person. Anyone aged 20 or under can take advantage of the discounted price of €25.

Organisers of the festival have asked that groups who are planning to attend book their tickets as a party, in order to save time.
