When you say “samba” you cannot but think of the Carnival in Rio de Janeiro, thus Brazil. Here are the origins of Brazilian samba, which in fact is the national dance of Brazil. It is a combination of African, Indian and Iberian influences. A lot of people love dancing; some of them are natural born dancers, while others require special dance classes in order to achieve the right moves. But all of them are passionate about dancing, under all its forms.

Samba is the most popular Latin dance style, for the reason that it is somewhat easy to practice. In no case can this dance style be practiced at home, because you have to learn the steps, the movements and the technique. Many young people from all over the world have Brazilian samba in their blood and prefer samba dancing till late at night in a dance hall, following increasingly more dance lessons with great efforts, instead of dancing and drinking in clubs, or doing other activities. For this reason, these young people are offered the chance to practice this kind of music in a dance school with certified dance teachers. Dance classes are composed of many dance lessons from which you can learn the steps and the technique so as not to bother practicing at home this dance style, as it is almost impossible to learn on your own at home what you can deepen at a dance school.

How should you dance Brazilian samba? First you have to manage to get into a cheerful, exuberant state of mind, so that you can express yourself in the true sense of samba. Most of the figures of samba that is danced today are made by moving the hips. Samba is a complete dance which requires the movement of each part of the body. It combines several rhythms in several areas of the body. Most of the times, the figures use the bounce rhythm which is translated by a flex / stretch of the knees forward / backward, combined with a movement of the pelvis. The arms are swinging in the air at the level of the pelvis. Step two bounce is very fast, the leg taking only a portion of the body weight. The other steps are performed with a total weight transfer, while the sole makes contact with the floor progressively, from the top to the heel.

Samba dancing has a multi-rhythmic character too: in the basic moves, the movement of legs has one rhythm, while the knees and the pelvis keep a different rhythm. The centre of gravity is easily fixed forward. Samba has a balanced choreography, alternating movements with static moments and fast with slow movements. In short, the characteristics of this dance are ample hip movements, a twisting body posture, run with the weight at the front, one leg bent. Musical measure is 2/4, and the tempo is 50-52 beats / minute.
