My client and his friends took me to a local Brazilian samba club where they proceeded to "feed" me caipirinhas and teach me to dance the samba. I had no problems with the caipirinhas but struggled with the samba. As many of you know, I have NO rhythm...unlike rocketDOG who has more than enough for both of us!
One thing I did learn is that Brazilians love their samba. As the live band warmed up, the club-goers warmed up too. Chairs were folded up and tables pushed aside so that there was more room to dance. Unlike the clubs I've gone to in the U.S., everyone in the club got up and danced. There were no wallflowers in this place. I think that was the most amazing thing about this samba club...everyone got up and danced. My impression is that the Brazilians are really proud of their samba. I wish we had some of that pride here in the U.S. --MM

what? like americans aren't proud of their "shopping cart", "roger rabit", and "cabbage patch" HAHA.
That's funny you talk about rhythm because i was watching AR and they had to choose between dancing and another task, and i was like if you and I were on the show we woulda picked the other task (cracking beer bottles over each others heads) cause you have no rhythm. (whew! run on sentence!)
