Aug 20, 2008 - yeah, in case you don't know they just happen to be some of the best dancers in America...so unless your teacher is Colin James, I doubt you'll find better instruction...and anything on this basic level isn't going to be how they would teach experienced dancers.

Aug 20, 2008 - The American samba in the above clip is included among the American ballroom rhythm dances. In ballroom, "latin" is a term which refers to International samba, rumba, cha-cha-cha, jive and paso doble.

Aug 20, 2008 - he´s right. Samba is both a ballroom dance and a party dance. Did you ever dance samba-rock ? it´s a ballroom dance as well.
TomT48 Says:
Aug 20, 2008 - If you knew something about Samba history, you would be aware that the style of dancing in the above clip resembles the Samba Carioca which Fred Astaire observed in the 1930's. It continued to evolve in Brazil, but evolved very little in the U.S.

Aug 20, 2008 - Brazilians do not consider this style of samba to be ballroom samba. To them, samba de gafieira is ballroom samba. They're two totally different styles.
TomT48 Says:
Aug 20, 2008 - Yes, we have heard that before. You should bear in mind that the dancing in this video was designed, primarily, to be easy to learn. It was never intended to be an exact duplicate of traditional Brazilian dancing. It's nice hearing from you again, by the way. :-))

Aug 20, 2008 - yeah there's two kind of samba, one inspired by African dances, often seen in fiestas,carnavales and rodas, and the other style came from portugese and was inspired by European dances, thus the ballroom samba.
