Dança Samba!

One of my all time favorite latin dances is the Samba. The Samba is from Brazil, and is a fast paced, rather bouncy dance with lots of hip movement. It is recognized around the world as a symbol of Brazil and the Brazilian Carnival. Samba music has a huge African influence, and most Samba music has a strong drum beat. The ballroom Samba is related to the Brazilian Samba, but it is actually very different. For one, the Samba dancers at Carnival usually dance solo, while in ballroom style you're with a partner. Also, the timing of the music is different. (Also, ballroom samba dancers wear a lot more than the skimpy outfits the dancers at carnival where!)
