Dance of the Tropics

Hello! Oi! Bonjur!

The Tropics include Brasil, the Caribbean Islands, and the Central African Diaspora. These cultures have dance styles that are uniquely earthy and represent indigenous groups as well as new cultures formed from the integration of indigenous and migrant groups from the African Supercontinent.

Samba Carnivale

Samba Do Brasil


The Carnivale is an age-old tradition in Brazil and throughout the Tropics. The costumes are extravagantly decked with bling and colorful feathers, and the Passistas (dancers) smile brightly while dancing with great passion and enthusiasm.

Carnivale is a celebration, brought to Brasil by the natives of Angola Africa who migrated and blended their beautiful culture with the indigenous Amerindians.

There are many styles of Samba in Brazil, of the most popular include:

  • Samba no pe
  • Samba de Carnivale
  • Samba de Bahia (Axe)
  • Samba de pagode
  • Samba de Coco

Caribbean Carnivale Dance is similar to Samba in costume, but quite unique in technique and music. Music is traditionally Soca (Trinidad) which is very exciting and fast-paced. There is also Tassa (Guyana) which is a very fast and rapid movement of the hips.
