World Class Brazilian Entertainment...

The Passistas Samba dance group is Chicago's premier Brazilian dance company. We strive to evoke the essence of the rainhas & musas of carnaval, the queens & muses, whose official role is to be the inspiration of the bateria (percussion section), to embody the spirit of their samba school, gracing all with their elegance, charm and passion for samba.
Passistas can provide whatever the event requires - from authentic to ultra-conservative attire. We also offer full production entertainment for platinum & corporate events with our talented band, Planeta Azul. We are Chicago's top choice for Brazilian entertainment!

Club/NightclubHaving personally worked along side Rachel Montiel & Passistas through various SOULPHONETICS events I can attest that these women are by far, from head to toe, the most dynamic samba dancers coming out of Chicago and the Midwest. Always keeping it fresh, sexy, exciting and elegant!

A Truly Great Time!

Birthday PartyI hired Planeta Azul & Passistas Samba dancers for my birthday party at Real Tenochtitlan in Chicago. It was the best birthday ever! The band slammed and kept everyone on their feet all night! The dancers were the icing on the cake! Not only were they beautiful, they put on a great show. Everyone had a blast learning how to samba. Planeta Azul Entertainment is the best choice hands down for Brazilian entertainment! You guys helped make my birthday celebration so special, it was an event we will never forget. Thank you for a truly great time!

Overview

About

Though a young group, Passistas Samba dancers have transformed the Chicago Samba dance scene, from their costuming, to their performance style, and even their trademark samba poses! According to the founder, Rachel Montiel: "We strive for excellence: every performance, every client experience, every event!"

Passistas has performed throughout the country, making several appearances for regionally and nationally televised programming, including a special guest feature on WGN, guest appearances on Telemundo, Univision, Escandalo T.V. and Control, dancing samba in costume. The group continues to grow in popularity, most recently being commissioned by the City of Chicago to represent Brazilian dance in the Summerdance series for a third year in a row. The troupe was also specially selected to perform for a platinum gala event in Texas, having been chosen over other noteworthy samba dance companies from around the United States!

Passistas Samba can provide whatever the event requires - ranging from the liberal to the ultra-conservative. Past and current performances include Brookfield Zoo's 75th Anniversary, Chicago Summerdance, University of Michigan, Macalester College, Loyola University, Northwestern University's Kellogg School of Management, White Sox Cellular Field pre-game shows, Chicago Fire pre-game shows, Casinos, corporate events, weddings, platinum galas, fund raisers, children's events, nightclubs, and churches! Passistas work with different costume designers and travel to Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro Brazil annually to personally select hand-made designs so that all costumes are brand new or in excellent condition.

All samba dancers employed are professional, young, lovely and fit (photos showcased are NOT altered so that the dancer you see pictured is the dancer you get - no false representations and no surprises) We are Chicago's original Passistas!
