Abstract:
Dance transcends language and borders. Samba is energetic and colorful symbolizing the culture of Brazil. In a similar way, Arab belly dancing relies on similar energetic sounds, strong beats and is practiced widely across the entire Middle East. Bringing these two dances together, along with the representation of the music elements and the rhythm, we overlap both Arab and Brazilian culture, thus suggesting a harmony between the two.
