Get InvolvedWant to join in the fun? Whether you're interested in performing, or more of a behind-the-scenes person, we have many opportunities. See specific links and contact information below. DrummersInterested in drumming with our percusssion ensemble (or bateria, as they say in Brazil)? You can start by visiting a rehearsal. If you're a beginner, you'll get an inside look at how we work and an idea of the commitment involved. As you progress, you'll be invited to join the group rehearsals and eventually to perform. If you're an experienced drummer, particularly with Brazilian percussion, you'll progress more quickly.  DancersDancers meet once a week to rehearse the group repertoire, with additional rehearsals as needed. To dance with VamoLá, it's best to have some background in dance (especially Brazilian, Latin, and/or African) and be committed to learning samba and other Brazilian forms. Please note that the dancers' rehearsals focus on the VamoLá repertoire, rather than teaching Brazilian dance. Click here for information on local classes in Brazilian dance. For more information, contact dance@vamola.org.  VocalistsVamoLá occasionally seeks vocalists for performances. If you're a singer with a flair for Brazilian or Latin music, contact us at info@vamola.org.  VolunteersFor summer parades and other events, we look for volunteers who'd enjoy parading with the VamoLa sign, helping as water carriers (a fun and vital job), waving streamers, and other tasks.
