There are a number of kinds of samba danced in Brazil. The 2 leading samba varieties in Rio today are the street samba dance referred to as samba no pe, which is a solo dance and samba gafieiro, which may be a partner dance.
The conventional kind of samba danced during the Rio carnival is samba no pe. However per some samba dancers there's a slightly difference between samba no pe and the show dance used throughout the Rio carnival. Samba no pe is also often seen as the foremost original samba. However others might claim that there's no such factor as an artless samba dance.
