Samba de Pe is synonymous with Carnival in Brazil. Complex and hypnotic hip, leg and body movements synchronise with the infectious rhythms of Brazil, and can be adapted to many different styles of music. This individual dance can be danced to fast carnival music, but ... to slower music like Bosa Nova, Samba de Gafieira, Samba de Pagode and other pop Samba music.. These classes build great coordination and strength, becoming progressively more cardio-vascular as the levels progress.

The Samba originates from Brazil. It was and is done as a celebratory dance during the popular street festivals. The music has a sensual, heart-pounding contagious rhythm which makes even non-dancers want to get up and dance.

Born in the umbigados of the African slaves sent to work on the sugar plantations of Northern Brazil, the raw form of Samba aroused strong social and spiritual forces. At that time, there were many solo dancers, and the dance form had very symbolic arm and hand movements stemming from a ritual where the dancers waved highly potent aromatic herbs to drug their performance.

In the early 1920s, the music was heard in Paris again, only this time in a slightly more rhythmic form, and under the name Samba. By the 1930s the Maxixe was fading in Brazil, and the more aggressive, simpler Sambas animated in the spirit of Carnival took its place. Gradually the rhythmic beat and interpretative nuances began to take over in the street dancing, cafes, and dance halls, until it found its way as the dancing soul of Brazil.
