Samba

When the vibrant Brazilian Samba was introduced to U.S. Dance Masters in 1929, it quickly took the dance world by storm. This lively dance, like many from Brazil, blends the rich rhythms of African and Latin American music with captivating, expressive melodies. The Samba is truly a serenade in motion, with its melodic patterns beautifully punctuated by the strumming of guitars and other stringed instruments. Born in Bahia, Brazil, it gained fame in Rio de Janeiro, where its rhythm captured the hearts of composers and dancers alike. Today, Samba’s festive and lighthearted spirit enchants audiences worldwide, often bringing to mind the dazzling energy of Rio’s Carnival!

In Brazil, Samba is typically danced to a smooth and moderate tempo, offering a laid-back vibe. But here in the U.S., we like to kick it up a notch! The energetic and spirited style of Samba you’ll find at Fred Astaire Dance Studios is perfect for social events, competitive performances, or simply for fun.
