What does samba mean in Latin dance?

Samba: It originated in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and was introduced to the United States in 1929, and then spread to other places. It is a comprehensive product of dance culture in Africa and South America. It was first played on the guitar, with a slow rhythm, serenade-like atmosphere, warm and lively. Later, British dancers made a special trip to Rio de Janeiro to observe and collect local samba. After returning to China, they sorted out the samba dance and decided on the names of footwork and unified dance, which became the present samba dance. It belongs to the MovingDance. Like tango and waltz, it must revolve around the dance floor. Music: 4/4.
