Brazil dance styles.

1. Samba

Samba is what immediately comes to mind at the very mention of Brazilian dance, but where does it come from? Brazil was a colony of the Portuguese during the period 1500 to 1822, and African slaves, mainly were brought to Brazil from Angola by the Portuguese rulers. When the African slaves reached Brazil, they were converted into Christians, and prevented from worshiping their traditional gods by the Portuguese government. They continued to carry out religious practices in the guise of parties. But, soon, they came under the suspicion of the authority, as a result of which, such parties were often raided by the police. Eventually, they tried to preserve the secret rhythms of samba by combining them with other musical forms, which over a period of time gave birth to a series of dances and music genres. If people are working and they hear samba music, they drop everything they were doing and start dancing.
