Samba Line Dance

Whenever a Samba is played at the studio's open dance that I attend most people get up to do a Samba line dance. The only time I've seen it is here so I'm wondering if it's done much in other places around the country. The instructor who introduced it came here from Chicago about three years ago.

I think I've seen people from other college clubs do something like that, but I'm not sure it's the same thing. I thought that what people here did was basically a samba practice routine, something involving all the basic actions so that you could easily practice them over and over again by doing that little routine. I don't really know for sure though.

There's a studio in Whippany, NJ where they do a Samba line dance, as well as two other line dances: one done to hustle; the other done to Frank Sinatra's New York, New York song. I started going to the studio in NJ around 2001. I had never seen those line dances done any place else.

We have a Samba line dance here on Long Island--I believe the Bay Shore studio started it. Also, Merengue, and there's been a Mambo one (done to a particular country-ish song)that's been around for a while. An instructor of mine created and taught a few of us a Swing line dance, but it didn't catch on.

Last but certainly not least, the hosts of a wonderful social we have in Babylon created a great Cha Cha LD, and have started a new modern country one, too.
