Two of my favorite dances would jive and samba.
The Samba is a composition of several South American dances that were practiced by slaves bought in Portugal in the 16th century, as the Cathars, pistons and Batuque fields. These dances were considered vulgar by the Europeans and one of the dances, the Batuque was so popular that it was outlawed. Rowdy was danced in a circle with steps similar to those of Charleston with a solo dancerthe center of the circle.
Over time, steps were added to the show and dance has been modified to use the closed ballroom dancing is considered a right by the Europeans.
Samba seems to be a combination of all these dances (and probably others) and dance to hard hits and walking movements are the main and side steps and incorporates plenty of hip action. For this reason, it is estimated that the samba dance perfect holiday.
InSamba, Ballroom Dancing Judges look for precision and passion of the Volta (crossing in front of the body), List of Samba (which moves the upper body in a circular motion to pass a six-step curve ) and (traveling on foot Botafogo including a change of address). The judges are always looking for open arms and the peak characteristic of the Samba where the dancers throw their heads back and arms are open to the outside.
The fastest of the Latin dances, theJive is believed to have originated in the area of Harlem in New York, although some believe he was born in the southeastern U.S..
The Jive is a face pace, the rhythmic dance that was influenced by other styles such as Boogie, Rock, Swing and Latin Lindyhop Africa. The Jive is also known as the Walk of the cake, because at the end of 1800 southern blacks held contests where the prize for the best Jive was a cake.
Although the dancers appear to havelegs and feet flying everywhere during the execution of The Jive, are your feet are directly under the body with the knees always close. She turned a lot and there are plenty of kicks.
The Jive is usually performed to music known as Ragtime. The reason is called Ragtime music may be because the dancers dressed in their finest clothes ("rags") or because the syncopated rhythm of music creating a tear.
Both Samba and Jive are wonderful dancersare a joy to watch.
