Samba developed as a distinctive kind of music at the beginning of the 20th century in Rio de Janerio. It was strongly influenced by immigrant populations from the Brazilian state of Bahia. The music later inspired a specific kind of dancing that radiates ease and joy. The samba dance is a delight to watch. But that's no excuse to just sit there and observe. Now you too can learn how to do the Samba with this free dance lesson.

In this free video series, you will learn how to dance the samba from our professional instructor Patricia Prata. But this is no ordinary samba, this in a updated version with new moves such as the Egyptian Walk and the Can Can mixed in to ensure that you are the center of attention on the dance floor. Along with these newfangled variations, our expert makes sure you master traditional moves such as the forro and the fevo, as well as the axe move. But don't feel intimidated if you've never even heard of these moves. Our dance instructor starts at the very beginning., with stretching exercises and the basics of how to move your arms and hips while you are doing these moves. And to make you feel more at home at those crazy Carnivale celebrations, Patricia gives you an overview of Brazilian culture and costumes.
