SAMBA DE GAFIEIRA
presented by Ali (Dance 4 Life)

Samba de Gafieira is a fun and funky partnered dance danced to Brazilian Samba rhythms. Samba de Gafieira is different to International Latin American Samba. The word "Gafieira" has two meanings, one being a "dance hall" where you would dance this style, and also being the orchestral traditional Samba music style.

This style of samba originated predominantly in Rio de Janeiro, Botafogo and Catete in Cabarets or Gafieira's. Gafieira drived from a dance called the Maxixe, and then in the 1940’s, the influence of Argentine Tango came into the style as well as some more acrobatic tricks.

FAQ'S

No, no dance partner required.

WHAT DO I NEED TO WEAR?
We recommend clothing you can comfortably move in, allowing you to easily bend knees, move your hips, waist... Tops/shirts with give for your arms to get above not only your, but your dance partners heads. AND, dress light or in layers you can remove, Salsa generates some heat ;) Shoes, ideally something with a slippery sole that is strapped/securely attached to your feet. Or, anything really, it's a very informal environment with most students coming straight from work - in work clothes.
