Favorite Brazilian Dance Posted by on Sep 23, 2009 in Culture

For today’s interactive feature, the question is: what’s your favorite Brazilian dance?

Personally, my favorite kind of dance to do is lambada, which is sometimes referred to as zouk. It’s a ton of fun to dance, though it takes a bit of practice, and is a great workout. I also really enjoy forró from Salvador, which is a lot of fun. Also, while cheesy, axé dance is also a great time.

What about you?

    I absolutely love forro from the Northeast of Brasil. Its a dance performed with a partner made up of a mix of spins and steps that are very stylish and romantic. Its hypnotic to watch and heaps of fun to do. Here in London we’re lucky because we have a few places where you can go dance Forro – I just need to learn how to first !!!!

    If you’re not familiar with the dance take a look here:-

    Nossa! Essa pergunta eh meia impossivel pra mim… Adoro danças de brazil demais.

    Nesse momento, o meu favorito eh o samba de gafeira, ou sera dança de salão. Apenas aprendí conduzir essa dança recentemente, e estou facinado com a habilidade de condizir uma dama em passos complicados… eh uma dança linda tambem, claro, e tem espaço pra demonstrar as habilidades e personalidades do homem e a dama.

    Eu danço muito samba nó pe e forro tb… adoro os dois.
