Samba is Brazil. Brazil is Samba. Samba is even more important than football in the country that has become World Champion a record five times. Only in this way one can understand how much Samba means to this country. It connects poor and rich, blacks and whites, old and young. Here you can learn more about where this dance comes from and why it's so important to the Brazilians.
The Bantu-word "Semba" from Angola describes the "movement of the belly-button." And indeed - the erotic, circular movements around the pelvis are typical for Samba. To the Europeans in the 19th century, this looked very immoral at first.
However, it's exactly in these flexible movements, combined with the quick change of steps that we find the positive easiness that makes the Samba stand out. Its origin most certainly lies in West Africa and like many other dances, came to America with the first slave deportations in the 16th century.
InStep Dance Studio principals Chris & Anne Leitch have been dancing since their early teens. With over 40 years of teaching experience they have taught thousands of people the pleasurable art of ballroom dancing.
Their approach to teaching is first and foremost to have fun. Even if you have two left feet and no sense of rhythm, their teaching method will have you feeling comfortable from the very first lesson.
Lessons and classes are available for Beginners, Improvers, Wedding Couples, Medallists, and Competitors.
Beginner Classes are 10 week sessions during which you learn the basics of Foxtrot, Waltz, Quickstep, Cha Cha, and Jive.
This will give you the skills to comfortably get up at any function and dance with confidence.
It is clearly an advantage to have a partner, but this is not essential.
Improver classes which add new variations to the basic steps and improve your dancing ability follow on from that.
Beginner or experienced dancer, your needs can be catered for in a friendly, fun atmosphere in either a class or private lesson situation.
Classes and Private Lessons are held in our specially designed Dance Studio in Whangarei.
The Samba originated in Brazil and is the party dance of Rio. It is still danced extensively in Brazil, although the Samba that is danced in the Ballrooms and International competitions around the world is a far cry from the party dance of Brazil.
This class is designed for youth dancers wanting to take their dance to another level.
We established the UCan2 Dance Studio in 1993, with a dream and belief that everyone can learn to dance with the right teaching. That's where the dance school's name came from - You Can Too!
The national dance of Brazil, the rhythm of samba and its name originated from the language and culture of West African slaves.
Over the years the Samba has incorporated elaborate tricks, turns and acrobatic feats into its basic set of figure.
