About Samba
Composed
with several dances of South America, Samba dance was originated from Rio
Carnival of Brazil and its music creates a party-like atmosphere. Though side
steps and walking are the leading moves, Samba is a typical party dance which
includes a lot of hip movements with a strong pace.
In
the 16th Century, slaves bought their own dances in Portugal and
some of them are Rowdy, Stroke and Catarete. As these were danced with close
touch of the dancers, Europeans considered these dance forms as sinful. Once
declared illegal, Rowdy was then become very populous. Rowdy was danced in the
circle’s center with a solo dancer. Along with these dances, carnival-styled
dances were also included by the high society members in Rio de Janeiro.
Gradually, all these aspects of the dances are combined together and made Salsa
we are aware of today.
