Rio Scala Balls

The Rio Scala Balls Are Part Of The Carnival Tradition With Their Private Parties.

Just as famous as Copacabana and Ipanema in Rio is the Scala Rio Nightclub. Every inch of the club's 3000 square meters of space is packed to capacity during the Rio Carnival. The club, located in downtown Rio next to the City Theater, sets the stage for a series of surreal and erotic balls that culminate with the electrifying and sensational Gay Costume Ball, where drag queens, transvestites, gays, and straight people come together to have one last party before Ash Wednesday and the beginning of Lent. Rio Scala Balls are well attended with a large tourist crowd joining in the celebrations with the locals on all five nights of the carnival.

The Mangueira Carnival Ball – Swing to the samba with Brazil's top samba school

To witness the very best samba performances the Mangueira Carnival Ball is an event you cannot afford to miss. In attendance is the Mangueira Samba School with its very same professional troupe of dancers, drummers, and flag bearers that set alight the Rio Sambadrome during the carnival. While the drummers have the crowd in frenzy with their intoxicating rhythms, sensuous samba dancers captivate the audience with their fluid moves. Mangueira is one of the oldest samba schools so you can expect an enthralling performance that will keep you on the dance floor till the wee hours of the morning. This is one of the Rio Scala Balls where you have the opportunity to mingle with the samba school or else you need to head to the Rio Sambadrome where you won't be as close up as you would at the Scala.

The Red and Black Ball – Dance with the Flamengo supporters
