Samba originated in Brazil and is a folk dance. There are many kinds of samba dances from banana to Marka in the local carnival. In order to show the characteristics of samba dance, dancers must perform cheerfully, emotionally and passionately. Samba has a unique rhythm, among which it is famous for its musical instruments with Brazilian characteristics. At present, a project called Latin calisthenics has sprung up in many gymnasiums. This sport is not a simple Latin dance, but a combination of various Latin elements. After simplification and exercise, a complete concept of sports has been formed. For example, samba, cha-cha and mambo are widely used in this course, so that everyone can enjoy physical and mental pleasure in passionate music at the same time.

Samba's bounce
What does samba's bounce mean? Samba originated in Brazil, and carnival dance has the characteristics of pressing knees and straightening. Bounce because of pelvic contraction or body depression. It's called "jumping action", and it's not really jumping up and down.
How is the bounce formed? Press your knees down with 1/2, and then straighten them with 1/2. We divide a beat into two parts-1 &,1stands for the first half beat,&is the second half beat. The problem is: 1 Bend your knees, at the same time, at the same time & jump. Or something else, it is more logical for me to bend my knees and straighten my knees when I step on 1 at this stage.
Compare the contents of IDTA and ISTD word for word.
IDTA (Laird): If bounce and rhythm are combined with the moving speed of feet, the rhythm "&; 1。 a2 & amp； 1。 2 inches. Straightening the knee is done in the next 1/4 beat 1. In other words, if we straighten our knees on the beat, then we will definitely do knee compression on the beat of 1.
ISTD: (new ISTD samba manual): Normal bouncing is the characteristic of samba dance. To put it simply, the first beat at 1/2 is slightly straight, and the second beat at 1/2 is slightly curved, that is, when the beat is several 1, the beat is straightened first and then compressed.
I'm afraid reading the materials quoted above will cause confusion in readers' thinking. For a professional coach, they all know what it is, so they seem to pay little attention to what is written in the books, so they will not be bothered by the contents in these books. Many people say, "put the book aside!" " It seems difficult for me. Sorry about this. I just hope you can clarify what chaos is. Are we using two different technologies, or am I mistaken? They mean the same thing. Who knows?
Brief Description: We all know that samba bounce doesn't mean jumping up and down like bopping, it is samba bounce created by samba dance, and it is a bounce formed by the contraction force generated by pelvic contraction and knee extension. Please study the basis of samba:
What is pelvic contraction and retraction? All its beat per minute methods are based on "1 a 2"
This book written by Mr. Walter Laird gives an accurate and clear description of samba's bounce, and its illustrations are very helpful for further understanding. Even though reverse basic steps are common in the United States, we should still be faithful to the specifications described in the book and do natural basic actions with the calculation method of "1 a 2".
