Một số đặc trưng của điệu Samba

[seravi]

Hi,
I dont know whether this is the right place to ask doubts about samba. I am having tough time learning the bounce action that is required for Samba.
Could anybody explain in detail, how it should look like and how to achieve it... or point me to a tutorial on it? please help

Samba bounce action originate from the knees, absorbed into the hips. A basic explanation can be found here: (look for all parts). A review of the dance's history would help.

Start with bouncing the knees and then try to absorb the lifting actions into the hips. The hip absorption is a modern development. The idea is to try to straight the knee without raising the head. Examine all the figure you have learned. Any figure with a 1a2 timing (as oppose to say QQS of Plait, Back Rock, etc) should have some bouncing action. That is there is a bending/straghtening action in the leg that your weight is on. Typical mistake would be in the Samba Walk, the front leg has the weight and thus should have a bouncing action -> the front leg should straighten as the weight is replaced in the back foot. Beginners generally drag the front foot back without straightening the knee.
