Product Description
Samba Part 1 gives its opening subjects to Basic Movement and Bounce Action, eight different Samba rhythms, and natural and reversed basics. Progressive Basic Movement, Whisks and several Samba Walks follow, making the foundation section useful for relating the named figures to movement and rhythm study.
The figure range then extends through rocks, Reverse Turn, Corta Jaca, Bota Fogo families, Natural Roll and Plait. A series of Volta subjects distinguishes spot, traveling, continuous and circular forms to the right and left. Round About, Promenade Runs, Cruzados Walks, Rolling Off the Arm and Contra Botafogos are among the later topics, giving viewers a substantial selection to organise into focused practice sessions.
The Samba Walk and Bota Fogo subjects retain their individual forms, and the Volta sequence keeps its different directions and arrangements. This detail lets a viewer choose a particular action rather than search a shortened list that groups several subjects together. Bounce Action and eight Samba rhythms give the opening a movement-and-rhythm focus before the broader repertoire unfolds. Corky and Shirley Ballas present the approximately 85-minute Part 1 recording, which includes the full twenty-eight-topic selection. The later Promenade Runs, Cruzados Walks, Rolling Off the Arm and Contra Botafogos remain separate subjects. Together with the early basics, they make the course a substantial Samba repertoire reference with each listed topic preserved.
