As a Brazilian, I thank you very much for your interest in our culture. But people in general don´t know the difference between the Latin rythms (Rumba, Salsa, etc..) and the real Samba. That´s why it´s so important to show it as it must be. Take a look at the link, it shows the real Samba (song and dance)!!
@doracmc1 ummm, stylization comes after fundamentals. Like building a house. You can't have a nice house by installing the molding before the foundation.
Samba is so difficult to learn for most people when you try to pick it up in real time. I even told some of my students having trouble with the step, there is a girl on YouTube that will have you Samba -ing in 2 minutes. : )
now this is REAL SAMBA! ignore all those other videos with spanish music and this so called "ballroom samba". NO! samba is not a ballroom dance!! the only samba that could be moderately considered ballroom would be samba de gafiera!
OMG.....I have been looking at videos for over 2hrs trying to figure out the basic step of Samba. YOU are absolutely AMAZING in how easy you broke it down. Thanks a million on posting your video! I finally get it! Simple and easy thanks to you!!!! W
bless you child...this is the only video that I could learn with....I'm getting the hang of it now....I love samba but could never grasp the steps....I think you're the only one that could help me...YAY! Thank you!
I have seen many YouTube videos on how to learn basic samba, and this is by far the most clear, easiest to understand, and helps you get it without stressing over "am I doing this right"? Much appreciated!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!! You solved the mystery of the Samba for me. It looked easy but I just couldn't seem to get it until YOU SHOWED ME HOW in such simple terms!!!! It's all about where you put the weight. People doing the pony only confused me, your explanation is SO MUCH clearer and better. I can't thank you ENOUGH!!! Now my zumba classes will go that much easier and I can't wait to spread the word! Thanks to you Samba Queen!
These training videos would be much more helpful if the person was filmed from the back side...then the steps would be followed mentally in order, not having to flip them into reverse...duh...at least that's how I learned the latest dances as a kid right there on the dance floor.
i just went through 4 videos from the top and your the only one that showed it the best even though it wasnt step by step but im dancing samba baby! thank you
Hey! Congrats for the video. Best explanation I have seen. I am Brazilian and soooo bad in dancing samba! LOL Maybe now I can try and succeed. I will sava this and spend an afternoon trying... hahaha Thanks a lot! :)
Thank you very much!...I always tried to learn this basic step and now it's really clear...Nobody could tell me properly how the dance step was really built...
now I get it cuz when I first tried I fell on my ass and since I had giving up but you actually explain it slow not like others that just expect to guess just by watching them go really fast, again tks a bunch ....great job : )
nice explanation....is this a bacha cata (sp????) I saw an episode of so you think you can dance and i think that's what marry called it...i know nothing about ballroom dancing but after watching that show i want to learn!!
holy smokes--that is an awesome demo and explanation...ive been teaching zumba 3 yrs and my brazilian friend taught me but i usually say start with a ponystep side to side--this is MUCHO mas better!
Felicidades, muy buena explicación y eso que estas hablando en inglés....ya me salieron los pasos...cosa que me parecía dificil..jejeejej a bailar samba...por favor enseñanos algún otro paso o corografía sencilla...gracias
Thank you very much. I have looked at over a dozen videos today and found this one the most helpful. I am trying to get together before carnival. Can you post something else about the hips and knee positions.
EXCUSE ME!!! Why is your video coming up when I click on the video my group, Samba Tremeterra, posted last year?!?! Our picture is your icon, but this is definitely NOT our work...
hey...im sorry, but not sure what ur talking about!!! ur picture is NOT my icon.... nor ur name, group....try clicking again.... im sorry..but no idea! lol
I used to have Your other vids, but now they are unavailable!?? Why so??
I just started samba dance lessons and must practice a bit (read a lot) at home too! Those videos were very helpful for me!! I could use azukabom, mexe, rebola and others ...i miss them!!! ;D
