We perform locally in South Puget Sound, Seattle, Washington and Oregon.
Membership is open to everyone.
No experience is necessary. Just show up. As a volunteer-operated and funded organization, we provide and coordinate instructors, instruments, earplugs, costumes, rehearsals, and performances. Samba Olywa is rooted in the Procession of the Species Celebration , Olympia's public sharing of art, music and dance honoring our natural world, culminating, every spring, in a procession through our streets. Each year Samba Olywa's numbers grow around this event.
