Traditional dance and music form of Brazil, it has many possible variations, speeds and hybrids with other dances. Unlike "salsa", the parallel but very different type(s) of traditional dancing in Spanish-speaking Latin America, samba has more hip movement and more of a "shuffle" feel to it, based on its softer ease on (and around) the beat, coming from the polyrhythms of the Afrikan percussion music that traditionally accompanied it. However, see also lambada
Samba still thrives in variation in the music of the new bands especially of the North-East of Brazil, e.g. Nacao Zumbi, Mundo Livre S/A, Mestre Ambrosio.

Only the best shoes ever created by man. After buying them, you'll worry about getting anything on them, because they are so beautiful. But to your surprise, they only get better with age. They'll mold to your foot, and provide the perfect level of comfort and traction in any environment. And they look good.
Nike owner: Man, these new shoes I just bought suck and are way over-priced.
Samba owner: My SAMBAS are really comfortable, and only cost forty bucks! And they look good. PWND.
Nike owner: I Should've had a V8.
Samba owner: Yes. Yes, you should have.

(v.) To "samba" : To lose muscle control in extremities after apnea. Usually occurring in spearfishers who hyperventilate (purge too much CO2) before a breath hold - this is extremely dangerous and why you never dive alone!
Always dive with a buddy and never practice "static breath hold" techniques while near water. CO2 regulates the body's exchange of gasses so if you purge too much you will use more oxygen while diving. Take a freediving course to learn a proper "freediving breathe-up"
Here's an example of a diver SAMBAing during ocean spearfishing:
