I hope this helps/clarifies some things for you.
Some speculate that a lot of moves in Samba have slave dancing to thank for existence. The Batucada(s) is what remains of the African influence on Brazilian Samba in both music and the movement itself, and I believe is a blend of the Merengue/Plait action the semblance of how African slaves used to dance with their ankles chained tightly together. Any takers on whether I am correct or not? I doubt it has any Portuguese origin and is most likely an Anglican addition to the dance when it was worked over by Masters in England. The shaping and hand positions have always reaffirmed this for me, and no one has corrected me in my belief. Maypole, the way I've always understood it to be, is called so because the woman "stands still," that is in one place, and the man moves around her much like one of those ribbons attached to a Maypole during a celebration in olden times. I do know that the leader's part for the Plait comes from the Merengue action in American and the footwork is Ball-Heel-Knee-Hip (it is actually described as such in Walter Laird's book, if recalled properly). At least that's how I've always understood it. Think of the lady's action as that represents a wave/fold being viewed from the side. The Plait (a variant of the word "braid") is named so because it resembles either a braid of hair or the old fashioned clothing known as plaits (a variant of "pleat"), in theory at least, and in visual execution more so than anything else. Sadly how the action translates or relates to the pattern, I am not too familiar. Samba is an important component to seamlessly integrate Linux/Unix. Since 1992, Samba has provided secure, stable and fast file and print services for all clients using the SMB/CIFS protocol, such as all versions of DOS and Windows, OS/2, Linux and many others.
#Samba meaning windows#
Volta is Portuguese for "come back " a derivative of the word vuelta ("return") in Spanish.īotafogo is a region in Brazil and the move, like with the Carioca, it is named after said region. Samba is the standard Windows interoperability suite of programs for Linux and Unix. Funnily enough I think "Maxixe" translates to "Gherkin" in Portuguese, but the idea is that it's something that is cut short, rather than any real connection to a tiny pickle. The Corta Jaca is a Brazilian folk dance (also known as Brazilian Tango, if memory serves) and was taken to the States when natives came over. The Corta Jaca is something known as Maxixe in American Style Samba, and as with Carioca, the move is named for the region from which it comes. I could be wrong about the very last part, but I believe I am not about the first bit.
To the best of my recollection - I sadly gave away my version of the Red Book by Walter Laird to my coach as a parting gift years ago - the Carioca is a river in Brazil, and the move (Carioca Runs) is therefore named after the river, the area around it, and I believe the type of dancing and movement that happens there. To the best of my ability to remember stuff, here are my two cents:
