The spirited Samba always gets feet tapping! Originally from Brazil, the Samba is one of the most popular of all Latin-American dances. With the different rhythms and timings that can be used, the festive Samba is also one of the trickiest dances to learn.Fred Astaire introduced the dance to movie audiences around the United States when he danced the Carioca with Dolores Del Rio in 1933’s Flying Down To Rio. Popularized in the movies of Carmen Miranda, the samba’s intoxicating rhythm was infectious! The festive and lighthearted dance always brings to mind Carnivals and fun!
Characteristics of this happy, flirtatious dance include a pelvic tilt action, rapid steps taken on the quarter beat, bouncing from the knees, and the Samba Roll, a distinctive movement from the waist up.
