Samba Dancing

Samba comes to us from the festive spirit of "Carnival" in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil.
Street dancers pulsating to the exotic sounds of the Samba drums show us characteristics
Of fast, bouncy and rhythmical energizing movements. Samba is a sexy Latin dance that has a very definite beat. When you hear the Samba music it has a sound that resembles that of which a heart makes. It is no wonder that that when you dance Samba that when you dance Samba it is as if you are dancing to the rhythm of your heart. However not only is Samba a dance full of feeling, emotion and an incredible history. But, with its fast upbeat tempos and motions it is also a great form of exercise. So of you want a fun outgoing dance Samba is for you.

Testimonials

I started taking lessons in June 2010.  My wife died in November 2009, after fighting breast cancer for 13 years.  It was at this time I became depressed and did pretty much nothing for a period of 3 or 4 months.  A girlfriend at local gym recommended joining a dance studio.  I then went to the Scottsdale Arthur Murray Studio and saw people dancing and talking and smiling.  In other words, having a good time.  At that point I decided to join.  I was introduced to two of the female instructors as my new instructors.  As time passed, they became the two people I fell in love with as well as, with the rest of the group at the studio due to their attitude toward me, and the love they had for dancing. The girls and the studio as a whole have given me a second chance at an enjoyable second time around.  Thank you all!
