Brazilian Dance : Batuque


Under the influence of the many cultures of the immigrants that settled in Brazil, the variety of rhythms and dances that have been born in this country is more than one can count .
Batuque is one of the oldest dance expressions of Brazil ,originated in a ritual of procreation that came with the African slaves from Congo and Angola. Dancing to the sounds of the drums, a man and a woman improvise moves in the center of circle. When they want to pass a chance to another couple they do that with an umbigada. (navel to navel)
