Dance Styles

 

Samba is a popular music genre and is internationally recognized as the dance of Brazil. It’s a mixture of many cultural elements from Africa, Europe, and the Indigenous people of Brazil. While the origins of samba are disputed it has roots in the traditional religious ceremonies. Each year the Escolas de Samba (Samba Schools) perform the Samba as a street dance at Carnaval, a pre-Lent celebration. Samba has come to symbolize racial and social harmony.
