How to Dance Brazilian Samba - Basic Steps
There are different styles of Brazilian samba depending on where you are in the country, or your personal preference. Here are two basic samba videos, each are excellent in showing you the basic Brazilian samba steps. The video on the left is samba in the axe style (pronounce ah-shay) more typical in north Brazil, particularty the state of Bahia. Carol Styley shows you how it’s done.
The second video on the right is more the style danced in Rio de Janeiro at bars and backyard parties, particulary with Pagode music. Pagode is a slower style of samba. Here Carlinhos Araujo will show you how a very easy to follow basic samba step.
You can practice both styles and eventually break out in your own unique way of expressing your samba moves. Just remember to relax and not think too much about the step, just let your body roll into it. Enjoy!
