First saw this video in 2007 and have loved it ever since. I've never been to Brasil but this video exemplifies what I have in mind when I think of a street party. I love the way she moves...effortlessly.
TRADITIONALLY SAMBA WAS DANCED WITH A PLATFORM HEEL, BECAUSE THEY'RE STURDY ALL THAT JUMPING AROUND WOULD HAVE KILLED REGULAR SHOES... MIGHT I ADD, THIS WOMAN IS KILLING IT IN THOSE HEELS, WHAT THESE PEOPLE ARE DOING IS NOT EASY...
saw this video about 4 years ago ... which led me to kuduro on a mad search to find this very video again. funny i should find it again by accident when i wasn't looking anymore.
For the people referring to the shoes as "hooker" shoes. And in "America" we call them "hooker" shoes. Get it right they are platforms and no different from the Christian Louboutin shoes every wants and wears. Platform "Hooker" shoes are a huge trend in america. I was in Orange County California and notice "hooker" shoes everywhere. What I found more surprising is that it was a lot of white women wearing them. Except when they wore them they looked like strippers heading to the trailer park
i've seen those shoes on professional dancers!! they have to wear them when performing! it's just like ballet, they have to wear ballet shoes to performe and practice and i believe that they were practicing so that's why she was wearing them
In Brazil, women wear heels like these to dance the Samba. The proper term for it is platform shoes. I think your Brazilian friends failed to educate you on this point.
Those are not hookers shoes,they are SAMBA shoes,plataforms.Most of the time they are gold or silver,but they could be any other shining color depending on the samba school colors.Samba dancers are supposed to wear those shoes when performing.
i understand and respect that.but in america we call them hooker shoes. the prostitutes wea them, and the strippers, and yea i wud wear them for a car show. lmao0o. i aint tryna disrespect brazil. i got black brazilian frends. dont get hype. but in america that is tru, they hooker shoes in the us of a
Actually, i did. And you get even more results if you google platform shoes. My bad if i came out as harsh, I was sorta offended by your comment. Don't really care anymore, though.
