The batukadas, the rolling actions, and all of the travel movements - especially the helicopter pivots, CPP/PP runs, Promenade Spins and Zig Zag, Same Foot Reverse Roll, Cruzados Locks, Traveling Volta Locks, Samba Locks (aka Drop Voltas).....all that! That is what I love about the samba!!!
Thanks 4 posting, I normally dance Rhythm..I'm new 2 Samba but really dig it.....this was very informative especially hearing all the different rhythms section at the end.
Assuming you are doing the CPP/PP Runs, which takes 6 steps, the best entry to this exciting competitive samba move (natural pivots) would be Steps 1-3 of the CPP/PP run (since the leader will finish with RF free), then 4 Natural Pivots with leader's RF LF RF LF. Finish with steps 4-6 of the CPP/PP run as the best follow. If you want to do the pivots again, do steps 4-6 and then 1-3 of the CPP/PP run, then the pivots. An alternative follow out of the pivots is the Whisk RLR--and you can overturn that RLR Whisk for competitive purposes. Good luck!
Definitely want to add more as over the last 17 years and close to 1,000medals dances on top of competition; I have so many silver, gold and advance routines I want to add! 💯 My wife is pregnant so we are held up on this aspect for a while 😂
I love your videos! But damn, with the demonstrations the music in the edit isn’t aligned so it looks like you are not dancing to the beat. Doesn’t take away the value of learning for me though!
Great to have you here! Sorry the videos doesn’t seem to be loading for you properly! I checked the master and the uploaded version and beats, bars and timing all match. Sometimes videos can load audio and video at different rates which can cause that issue though. It’s awesome you’re here and what dance would you like to have next?
I forsook Ballroom for 3 years of Brazillian dance study through Rio, San Palo and Bahia and I can't even look at Ballroom Samaba anymore. It's so manufactured and forced in its hip action. Ive nearly stopped teaching that as my Brazillian option all together and now teach Brazillian Zouk, Brazillian Bolero, some Samba de gafiera, Lambada and Forrho as a northern option. In my view, Ballroom Samba is just Maxixe and waltz and only useful for competition as it's lost any true representation of its culture of origin.
I understand my wife lived in Brazil for a year and when we visited the entire feel and style is beautiful and so so varied. As anything this is the international style which isn’t supposed to be Brazilian Samba - it’s just influenced off a particular style. Similar to Paso Doble being modeled off a Matador and Bullfight (technically that’s Spanish BUT the French invented the Paso Doble dance hence many of the figure names are in French) and Viennese Waltz being influenced from centuries ago. Did you know the origin of Rumba isn’t Cuba, it came to Cuba from Africa - and what the dance was actually used for…well, you’d be banned if you tried it on a comp floor 😂😂 All dances have history and the interpretation is what makes Dancing as a genre so interesting and never universally appealing it’s always personally subjective. Hopefully there will be dances you enjoy in the Ballroom world but it’s not for everyone in that sense.

What do you love about the Samba?
Sexy dance, hip action, 3/4 timing concept!
It's a fun dance with lots of bounce
criss cross botafogos and voltas are my fav, love a corta jaca but cannot get it for the life of me!
The best ever.I LOVE his performance.

Excellent .Excellent video.thank u
Hardest dancing , I really admire master Vaugh.
My dance teacher had me doing the advanced routine at like 10/11. Can do this with my eyes closed now :D
Woah love this vid, your routines always add in little variations to syllabus figures.
Great video … 😉
Awesome
The second song, Champagne feat. Shaggy. Can't find this Samba instrument version anywhere. Any tips?
Check out Dj Ice
Very nice!
what is a legal follow to the nat. pivots? (can't find an answer in the Hearn book) - it seems you end up in contact hold...
I always love opening back out to a Promenade Run
Assuming you are doing the CPP/PP Runs, which takes 6 steps, the best entry to this exciting competitive samba move (natural pivots) would be Steps 1-3 of the CPP/PP run (since the leader will finish with RF free), then 4 Natural Pivots with leader's RF LF RF LF.

An alternative follow out of the pivots is the Whisk RLR--and you can overturn that RLR Whisk for competitive purposes. Good luck!
Note: Natural pivots go SSSS, and CPP/PP Runs are SQQSQQ. So control of timing is very important here.
Is that the basic whisks because it looks different from the instructional vldeo of Slavik and Karina Smirnoff.
Hello Cesar! Those are called Developed Whisks which are not the same as Whisks. Slavik is the man! 💥💥
GREAT VIDEO!!!
TOO many basic on youtube, more silver/gold level please!!
