Even before Madonna’s big show on Copacabana Beach takes place, her team is already having fun on Rio soil. The Queen of Pop’s dancers don’t stop and the celebrations in Rio continue in full swing. This time, dancer Isaïa Badaoui and dancer Kupono Aweau enjoyed an LGBT+ samba circle in Botafogo, South Zone of Rio.
They recorded parts of the performance by singer Rodrigo Drade who sang the hit “Derê”, by Belo, and the place was full. Roda Sambay is the first LGBT samba circle in Brazil and had an edition in the pre-Labor Day holiday, but the circle takes place every Sunday.

In the early hours of Tuesday, the 30th, some members of the international pop diva’s team went to visit the famous Lapa, in the city center, a stronghold of Rio’s bohemia.
Madonna’s dancer, Jal Josua published on social media a video of the moment in which the group crosses the street in front of Circo Voador, arriving at Arcos da Lapa, and shouts in the street: “Caipirinha!”.
Meanwhile, a nighttime pool party was taking place at the Copacabana Palace pool, where Madonna, her daughters and around 200 people from her team, including producers, security guards and dancers, are staying.
