Brazilian Samba

Last night I attended a Brazilian Samba class taught by a native Brazilian, Renata. She's in Beijing for a couple of months so she's holding Beginner's classes at a ballet studio nearby. Even though one class costs RMB80, I still attended it to learn some authentic moves to put into a future Cardio Fit track.

The verdict: It was a beginner's class, so I was a little disappointed that the moves were quite simple. Choreography was usually a 2- or 4-count move repeated for 16 counts, before returning to the basic Samba step. There were certainly some new moves that I haven't seen before, but nothing that totally blew my socks off. So while I had a little fun and learnt some new stuff, RMB80 is on the high side for me.

Debate, suggestions, and feedback are most welcome. Choreography is an art and we have our own ways to do it, so I'd love to know your thoughts.
