Course Details

Samba no pé literally, "samba in the foot" is a solo dance that is commonly danced impromptu when samba music is played. It’s what you think of when you imagine Brazilian Carnival parade dancers  with gigantic feather headdresses and elaborate (and skimpy) beaded costumes.

The dance simply follows the beat of the music (the rhythm is 2/4, with 3 steps per measure). The basic step can be thought of as a step-ball-change, and can go from average pace to very fast.

Traditionally, men dance with the whole foot on the ground and tend to do a lot more acrobatic tricks with their feet. Women, on the other hand, tended to stick with the quick and symmetrical footwork with a lot of arm and hip movements to emphasize their femininity.
