What is Samba Dance
What is Samba Dance?
Those who are new to dancing, or who are exploring it for the first time come equipped with a few tidbits of knowledge gained from years of absorbing entertainment from the movies and television and elsewhere. As such, one of the first questions they usually ask is, what is Samba dance?
Everybody has heard of it and likely recognizes the 2/4 rhythms or the three steps version, which uses a 3/4 rhythm – both taking their cues from both African and European influences. However, Samba dance is best associated with Brazil and to this day it is still one of the most popular dances in the world.+ Expand
The African vibe is particularly evident in its beats, which were introduced to the Brazilian people back in the 1800s when Europeans brought their African slaves to South America. However, for a long time, the elite classes in Brazil looked down on Samba, thinking it obscene and so it was not until the 1920s that it broke out and became the mainstream, widely accepted joyous experience that it is now recognized as.
One of the main reasons its popularity skyrocketed back then was the presence of Carmen Miranda in Hollywood. Throughout the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s she starred in a raft of movies that showcased her abilities, not to mention appearances on Broadway, which further solidified her stardom, but also inspired countless thousands to learn the samba.
