Instructions
Step 1
To learn samba, you must remember that the dance is based not so much on movement as on a cheerful mood and fiery temperament, an expression of joy, a desire to share your mood with others. Samba came to Brazil from Africa along with the slaves brought. Over time, the dance has evolved, and today's samba only vaguely resembles the original dance.
Step 2
The first thing you need to do is learn to feel the tempo of the samba, for which you need recordings of Brazilian music. Turn on the melody and try to feel it, move to the rhythm of the dance, trying to follow the music.
Step 3
See how Brazilian women dance. Perhaps this will be a discovery for you, but you are unlikely to find a clip with gloomy dancers. A smile and a samba are inseparable things.
Step 4
Having penetrated the rhythm, you can move on to learning the steps. Samba has two main movements. First, the typical forward and backward motion of the body resulting from bending and straightening the knees. At the same time, the shoulders should be straightened, and the head should be held high.
Step 5
At the same time, you will have to master the rotation of the hips, which will help you maintain balance during the first movement.
Step 6
Having mastered the first steps, try to start spinning rhythmically, continuing to move at the same pace. Once you succeed, you can introduce hands into the dance. Extend one of the arms to the side, place the other on your chest. While dancing, raise your outstretched hand up, bend it and put it in the place where the second hand just lay, which you, while straightening, lower it down and take it to the side.
Step 7
Repeat all the above movements one by one, while trying to get into the musical rhythm. And don't forget to smile. Even if your samba does not look perfect, the purpose of the dance is still to convey a good mood to those around you and to have fun yourself.
