@seravi There are three separate styles of Samba. (at least that I know of and I teach two of them) There is an "American" (US America) style Samba which is very close to the "International" style. Both are ballroom or partner dances. The Brazilian Samba inspired the ballroom versions however it is very different. Just thought I'd share, hope it helps make sense of things.
@Br0nze Brazilian Samba had a baby called International Samba and the International version had a baby called American Samba. There is little difference between International and American style Samba. Same technical goals, slight variations on basic figures for more "leadability" in a social setting, it's exclusively danced in the US I believe. It's very commonly danced in the world of pro/am, however there is no such thing as a professional American Samba category to compete in.
@skydance7: I ask because there is no such thing. Samba is a purely International Latin dance. Unless Am Samba is a take off of the INTL Samba w/o any technique or bounce or anything that resembles Samba.
Congratulations Vadim and Kathrin with World Champion Title today, many years of your hard work and dedication paid off

i'm taking lessons too, i'm in bronze and silver. LATIN IS A LOT HARDER THEN PEOPLE THINK, and a lot cooler ;D it's really awesome
@iceprincess15 The user was referring to America as the continent. So American Samba is basically Brazillian Samba.
Yes, it is!!
:)
International Samba. (Not to be confused with American style Samba or the samba they dance at festivals in Brazil.)
Can someone explain what the hell American Samba is?
