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:
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.
From the heart of the Congo, Makossa is a tropical Central African dance with a unique core technique style of dancing to Francophone African Rumba music.
