Moving to a new country is an exciting but challenging experience! But with a lively and judgment-free Brazilian community, everything is lighter and more fun. Rabaterapia can help you integrate into immigrant life and we’ll show you how!

For many immigrants, the journey comes with the excitement of new opportunities but also the hurdles of integration into a new community. At Rabaterapia, a Brazilian dance studio located in the heart of Montreal, we understand these challenges and offer a unique solution: dance. Dance is more than just movement; it’s a powerful tool for social integration, cultural connection, and mental well-being.

The Power of Dance for Integration

We aim to create a welcoming and supportive environment for immigrants to connect, have fun and feel at home. Our dance classes – Pop Funk and Jazz Funk – are designed not only to teach dance, but also to create a community where everyone feels included and valued.

1. Building Friendships and Networks

One of the biggest challenges for immigrants is building a new social network. At Rabaterapia, we foster a sense of community and belonging. Our dance classes are structured to encourage interaction, collaboration, and mutual support. Whether you’re an extroverted social butterfly or someone who takes time to warm up to new people, our inclusive environment ensures that everyone has the opportunity to make meaningful connections.

2. Cultural sharing and social

For many inmigrants from many cultures are interested in meet new enviroments and cultures, Montreal being a international city with people from many different countries and languages, socializing and sharing with other in the dancing classes is great way to stay connected with other and to get to know how other cultures are around the world, also to know deeper the brazilian culture through dancing

Events that Bring People Together

Rabaterapia is renowned in Montreal for organizing events that attract the Brazilian community and beyond. These events are more than just parties; they are opportunities for social integration, cultural celebration, and community building.

Under the Sea 2022: In September, we organized a Brazilian-themed costume party that was a massive hit, welcoming between 500 to 600 people. The event was a colorful, energetic celebration where attendees could dance, socialize, and feel part of a larger community.

Halloween 2023: On November 2nd, we hosted a Halloween party that featured incredible costumes and lively music. It was a night of fun and connection, perfect for newcomers looking to meet people and enjoy a traditional North American holiday with a Brazilian twist.

Monthly Book Club: A Free Social Gathering

Beyond dance, Rabaterapia offers a free monthly book club once a month, on Fridays at 6pm. This club is open to everyone, regardless of whether they are enrolled in a dance class. It’s a relaxed, welcoming space where participants can enjoy discussions about selected books, share their thoughts, and connect with others over a shared love of reading. The book club is another way we help immigrants build a support network and feel more at home in Montreal.
