Here is a classification that was proposed by David DE HILSTER, webmaster of the World Samba Home Page.

Sommaire

[modifier] Samba School

A samba school is the most complex and most demanding of the samba groups. Minimally, it must have a bateria and compose its own songs, a group of baianas, flag-bearer and ballroom master, front commission, and parade once a year in a formal setting with a chosen theme. Although many groups have "samba school" in their titles, they are not really samba schools but some other type found hereafter.

[modifier] Bloco

A bloco is the step just before a samba school. At a minimum, blocos have a percussion unit and dancers and participate formally in parade formation once a year.

See the bloco list in France

[modifier] Bateria

A bateria is a group that only has drummers. Sometimes they join up with dance groups to parade.
