A note about how to count Samba:
The music is phrased in a count of 8. And the way you count is 1 a 2, 3 a 4, 5 a 6, 7 a 8. The beat value is 3/4, 1/4, 1. That means that count "a" gets the shortest amount of time for the step.
The Samba Basic steps & Technique
There is a strong bounce action being used in the Samba. The idea is that the knees never stop bending and straightening. That is essential to the Samba dance.
