[@blairdee]

i dont care whether its the brazilian samba standard nor the international latin ballroom samba, i both love them. I guess whoever created the steps for the latin ballroom that is far fetched from the brazilian samba, being a national icon of brazil it is its ultimate inspiration and its still associated with the country as this is brazilian's iconic dance, most especially the beat of the music and the spirit of fun and enjoyment of dancing it. I'd always love dancing either of the two...

How she loved their music

[@CDAFishboy]

It gets so old with people (I assume from Brazil) complaining about every single Samba dance on KZbin. Yes this IS SAMBA. It is danced all the world as a partnership dance. If the song is sung in English, Spanish, or Chinese, it is the beat 1 ah 2 that makes it a samba. The solo dancers at the beginning were doing traditional Samba complete with costumes, and the couple was Doing a International Style Samba. Yes they are doing recognizable steps. Watch Blackpool or World Super Stars Dance fes

[@charlessmith263]

That was a good samba by Flavia and Vincent. I like the way they added the flyaway R Shadow Roll and changed positions into the Closed Facing Position "Gyro Roll" with upper body at the end. I loved the recognizable samba content I wanted to see from them.

[@dorinezxx]

This is ballroom samba,and very well done...as a Brazilian i really feel the difference of Brazilian samba but that is the way this works on ballroom dance and i love it....

[@ROCKINGJAGUAR]

The music style they dance to is actually called Rumba Flamenca, and it's from Spain, not Brazil... they should call this act "Mix of Latin Styles"... their dance is not Samba at all. As usual, the English speaking people take pieces of the Latin and Brazilian culture and make a weird collage with them.

Aos brasileiros de plantão: Eu sou brasileiro e professor de dança, inclusive de samba de gafieira. Existe o samba brasileiro e o samba de ballroom dance. Ambos são SIM samba, simplesmente diferentes e com piras diferentes. Como brasileiro prefiro sim o nosso samba, mas o casal dançou muito bem. Então não transformem mais um vídeo de samba de ballroom dance em discussão sobre samba como se soubessem algo a respeito. So Respect! Já estou cheio de ler comentário idiotas a respeito!

[@jeangaspar5005]

O que ficou meio confuso foi o conceito deles no início, usarem uma bateria de escola de samba, passistas e depois dançarem ballroom samba como se uma coisa tivesse haver com a outra. Mais amo ver a Flávia dançando qualquer ritmo. Kkkk

[@95Fee]

guys they also dance tango without traditional tango music but the beat is the same and they dance the correct steps, it's not the samba you are talking about but it is a samba and they perform it really good

[@2say1way]

I love watching hugely talented people use their talents

[@irenelife8674]

This IS Samba, only not Brazilian Samba, but Ballroom Samba, which is based on Bazilian Samba but adapted for competition purposes. What makes it Samba is that it's danced at 48 bars per minute. Technically, the music doesn't have to be Samba. I also used to get really angry at this being called samba (or salsa, or cha cha cha) , and then be danced to some other music.

(or at least that's how i take it)...

[@derekatkinson3498]

[@Isdaniruiz]

Good dance, but this is not Samba, first the song is from venezuelan, the music is from Spain and the dance is salsa, from Caribbean . Unlike!

[@Suaracatacat]

I second that. Not samba. Not even samba music.

[@BlowNavy]

Lais Vaccaro This is not Brazilian Samba. This is Ballroom Latin American Samba. These are two different things.

[@solripoll683]

I agree, the Americans confussed the music always.

[@BlowNavy]

Lais Vaccaro this is LATIN AMERICAN samba music. the beat matches up to the international standards and it can be danced with Latin American Samba choreography. it is influenced by Brazilian perhaps, but not the same thing.

[@Suaracatacat]

BlowNavy What do you mean by Latin American samba music? In Latin America, samba music is brazilian samba because, you know, Brazil is also in Latin America therefore what we grow accustomed to know as samba is brazilian samba... It seems to me by this video, that what you call international standards is generalizing a bunch of latin american music (also from spain) and moves and called it "Latin American Ballroom Samba" (i'm not trying to be rude, this is really what it looks like to me and perhaps to some latin americans in general, that's why you see so many "this is not samba" comments in these videos, sorry if it comes out rude!).

[@HakanaXKai]

Omigosh! I love that song (among the whole album) from Gipsy Kings! They have beautiful "spicy" music! However,their music is more Flamenco than Samba or Salsa,I think personally (seeing their music videos after all).But this is cool. No offense to the singing staff of DWTS,but they are killing this song!! TT^TT why can't they just use the soundtrack itself? I had to mute it and listen to the origin song

Also, a couple dancing a dance called samba to a spanish language song in a rhythm far from samba only perpetrates misconceptions, is an insult to latin american cultural diversity and a hijacking of something that is almost a "Brazilian cultural trademark". And all this on a such a widely watched and respected channel as the BBC.

[@yurisucupira]

In 1500, Brazil was discovered by portuguese colonizers, who then took african slaves to Brazil in order to work on sugar cane farms. African slavery was abolished in Brazil only in 1888. In the meantime (1500-1888), those african slaves took the *Semba* (african) rhythm (music and dance) to Brazil, along with several other african rhythms (Lundu was another one). This gave birth to several african-rooted rhythms in Brazil, and they were all called *batuque* (this word means "drumbeat" and was used as a generic name to represent all such african-rooted rhythms created in Brazil). By the abolishment of slavery in Brazil, the word "batuque" was gradually replaced by other name words: each "batuque" rhythm received a specific name. That was when (beginning of the 1900s), in the countryside of Bahia (a northeastern brazilian state), the word *Samba* was created to give name to one of such rhythms developed from the Semba rhythm. Hence, Samba existed long before 1900, but didn't have a name: for a long time, it was just one of the several "batuque" rhythms, and only received a name by the beginning of the 1900s, in northeastern Brazil. This is how old Samba is. This is the (basic) story of Samba. This is why Samba is a Brazilian Portuguese word and a brazilian rhythm. This is why Samba is brazilian. Knowing such things is very important. It's the 1st step to understand why International Ballroom "Samba" (I will call it just IBS) looks weird to any brazilian: the issues start right at the begining, when a brazilian reads the name of such dance, because it doesn't make sense to put the word "Samba" in the name of something so mechanical and so disconnected from the Samba performed in Brazil. Another problem is that *IBS is just a dance* but, in reality, Samba (the brazilian one, which is the original one) *isn't only a dance* but much more than it: *Samba is an entire art form* having a background and foundation made of an entire culture, history, music, dances (yes, in the plural: there are several Samba styles, each one developed in a different region of Brazil, although the 1st one was created in Bahia's countryside), clothing, theatrical elements, slangs et cetera. It is inevitably linked to Brazil's people, roots, culture, history, language et cetera. Everything brazilians see as a problem in IBS is a consequence of this misnomer. Should IBS receive a different name (without the word "Samba" in it) it would then make sense.
