Then there is the Syncopated Timing - "1 uh and a 2 uh and a" - which is used in the tap step/rocking samba figure called the "batukadas".

How count 1 a 2 with 1 and 2 to do step by step
@sudaibong1917 Жыл бұрын
There are 'Q Q S' counts on Samba Lock and Cruzados Walk. However, there are people who count it as 'Cha Cha Cha'. 'Q Q S' counts 4 beats, and 'Cha Cha Cha' counts 2 beats, so of course it's not reasonable. So, in order to match the beat, 'Cha Cha Cha', which is 2 beats, is increased to 4 beats (1+1+2) and counted. Can I use 'Cha Cha Cha' count in Samba? Is it possible to count what should be counted as 'Q Q S' by increasing it to 4 beats of 'Cha Cha Cha'?
@zvonimirtosic6171 Жыл бұрын
Maybe you should be counting it on a metronome, to make clear that 1/4 is very short? Samba and Bossa Nova are 2/4 dances, but many dance the first "3/4 + 1/4" as "1/2 + 1/2" or "2/3 + 1/3" at best". Very few dance it as "3/4 + 1/4". That's why samba is difficult. So maybe count it as" "one.a - twoooo", "three.a - foooour", etc. to make sure that "a" is really short.

Thanks for the tutorial! I wonder why you choose for "beginners" one of the most complicated timings? The simplest is for sure dancing just the main beats (1, 2, 3, 4, ... or "Slow Slow" for that matter) and doing the half beats (like QQQQ, SQQ, QQS). Could you please elaborate why you don't mention these for the beginners?
@Passion4dancing4 жыл бұрын
Most of the basic steps use "3/4, 1/4, 1" timing like "Whisks", "Bota Fogos", ""Samba Walks". This is why you need to learn 1a2, 3a4... pretty much right away.

@@Passion4dancing Ah, I see, with "basic steps" you mean that selected examination set for lower class competition dancing. My apologies! It seemed to me that you are directing this video towards dancing beginners in a more general context, now I know better. Keep up the good work! Best regards.

Actually it is samba. This is sports Latin American dance samba, as defined in the standard from the 1930s, when the necessary rhythm and bps requirements, and stylistic figures were standardised for it, to be danced on the music played by the big band orchestra (which was the source of dance music of that era) in ballrooms. Latin American sports dance samba only follows the standard, unlike street Brazilian samba, which is not standardised, and which continued to develop in different directions and orchestrations.
