Samba

Samba is a vibrant Brazilian music and dance style known for its energetic rhythms, syncopated beats, and joyful movements. Originating from Afro-Brazilian traditions, it is often performed during Carnival, combining lively percussion, colorful costumes, and dynamic footwork that embodies celebration and passion.

STORIA

Samba originated in Brazil at the beginning of the 20th century, born from a cultural fusion of African percussion, Portuguese rhythms, and the spirit of the Carioca people. Emerging in the streets of Rio de Janeiro, it became a symbol of celebration and freedom—a universal language of body and music. Today, it is considered the quintessential Latin dance: energetic, radiant, and sensual, capable of transforming rhythm into pure expression of joy.

CURIOSITÀ

Competition Samba is in 2/4 time, featuring the characteristic “bounce” movement—a continuous flexing of the knees that creates a sense of elasticity and flexibility. It is a dance that combines muscular strength with the lightness of a smile.
