The Jar
Rhythm Finds You: A Night of Brazilian Samba & Story
February 27, 2026
7:00 PM - 10:00 PM
Imagine walking in from the chill and feeling the beat pull you closer. This isn’t an ordinary night, it’s a samba-infused gathering of story, rhythm, and surprise. Former Boston Ballet soloist Irlan Silva brings the heart of Rio to The Jar. He’ll share his story, teach a few moves, and remind you that everyone can dance. Before long, you’ll be moving—with old friends, new friends, and strangers who might not stay strangers for long. No experience needed, just an open heart and a curious body. This will be winter’s warmest night.
The twist? You can only come if you bring a +1, two folks like you, and two folks not like you. Together, you’ll make the room buzz with warmth, laughter, and new connections.
