Brazil Carnival Videos's video: BRAZIL DANCE Is the National Dance of Brazil SAMBA

What is the National Dance of Brazil? Is it genuinely Brazilian or African? Let's parade with us at the Rio Carnival Sambadrome at vote! What's our most watched video? https://youtu.be/fLdPxX8ogUU Many don´t know exactly where it came from. The National dance of Brazil is certainly samba, that is certain, but there are many others influences within samba dancing! There are other national dance of Brazil too! For us, at the Rio Carnival Sambadrome is the best place to see this! That is very true regarding its origins and partially true regarding its influence. In terms of the origins, Semba (musical style & dance) which arrived through slaves play a major role. (Many of these from Angola, which arrived at Bahia and to Rio de Janeiro.) Samba dancing has 70% of African rhythms (Semba), but other "moves and steps" of the national dance of Brazil are from other nationalities. Some of these influences came from urban environments and other dances from the country-side of Brazil, like the "Maxixe", the Brazilian version of the Argentinian Tango. Another dance that influenced Samba Dancing was Polka , originally from Czech Republic, and finally the "Xote" was also incorporated to what we see today. Finally, some aspects of the French court dance were incorporated. The samba schools we see today are a summary of this in a sense. As the Brazilian Carnival samba drumming too. Have any suggestions?
