I decided to share a Samba from Dancing with the Stars with Shawn Johnson and Mark Ballas. Samba is a type of dance and music that comes from Brazil. It has an African influence dedicated to being polyrhythmic. There is a certain rhythm that a samba dance has to follow, that being the counting of 2/4. Like jazz, the samba is now a broad term and could describe anything. While watching Shawn and Mark dance, you can see that their foot movements are at a face pace. With the fast pace footsteps, you also see that they have a bounce too. Usually, in a samba, they have smooth lines, and you can tell that the lines they do are smooth.
