I'm a Brazilian, so i can tell you. There's a dance, called funk, very popular here, but the funk is not as you know, it's a kind of sexy dance, u know. but it's a bit vulgar, and there's other dance, like 'sertanejo' and 'forró' that is very popular in Bahia. I'm sorry about my English, bye :)
The "Samba" is the most popular and most practiced dance in Brazil, but it isn't considered "official" because there are a multitude of folkloric dances spread throughout Brazil. Immigrants brought their traditions to Brazil, including dances, so we can say that Brazil is the country of dances and musics. Considering the fact that "samba" is the most known Brazilian dance allover the world, on this sense, it could be considered an "official" dance. The dance and the rhythm has been brought to Brazil by African slaves at the time of slavery in our country. However, at that time the dance was somewhat different from the today's rhythm.
Brazil is known for a variety of vibrant dance styles, with samba being the most iconic, especially during the Rio Carnival. Other popular dances include bossa nova, which blends samba and jazz, and forró, a lively partner dance from the northeast. Capoeira, a martial art that incorporates dance, music, and acrobatics, also holds cultural significance. These dances reflect Brazil's rich cultural diversity and history.

The Samba originated in Brazil. It was and is danced as a festival dance during the street festivals and celebrations. First introduced in the U.S. in a Broadway play called "Street Carnival" in the late twenties. The festive style and mood of the dance has kept it alive and popular to this day. Samba is a fun dance that fits most of today's popular music.
