It is believed that the word "Samba" is derived from a West African Bantu word, meaning to pray or invoke the spirits of their ancestors. It is rumored to be a dance that can excite people to such an extent; it sends them into a trance. It is danced annually at the Rio Carnival in Brazil.
Should see lots of bounce action There should be lots of wiggly bums and hip action The Samba is based on a bounce action - a softness in the legs Should be very rhythmical It's a party dance - and should give this feeling Very much in unison Its not so clipped as other Latin dances Lots of outstretched arms Ends with throwing of heads back and arms splayed out to side There should be a good balance of moving steps and stationary steps.
