What an excellent dance article.
Thanks for the beautiful dance descriptions.
You forgot gafieira
written by Guest, April 20, 2006
You forgot to mention gafieira, the all Brazilian samba version of the lambada, a much later version with Caribbean influence. Gafieira is exquisitely beautiful, as intrincate and seductive as tango. Check it out.
Great article, by the way.
