"Malandragem is a
Brazilian Portuguese term
for the Bohemian lifestyle
- an ethos of idleness
and the party life
- traditionally celebrated
in samba lyrics, especially
those of Noel Rosa.
The symbol of this
lifestyle, the malandro,
has become significant to the Brazilian national identity as a folk hero. Ever present in Brazilian literature, as well as other arts such as cinema and music.
Samba n Motion is the only company in LA to authenticly perform Rio de Janeiro's Samba de Malandro, Gafieira, and varies other styles of this Unique form of dance: SAMBA!

"I Dance SAMBA
because SAMBA
is in my genes,
in my soul, my being.
I've being dancing
SAMBA since I was
a little girl. Samba is
inspiring and
moving. I Dance Samba because the rhythm and vibration of the "Bateria" gives me energy and makes my body move freely.
I can dance SAMBA in the morning, afternoon, night... I Dance SAMB...AHH because I am Brazilian, Native Indian, African and Portuguese, I am diverse.
I Dance SAMBA because SAMBA brings light to my life and lifts my Spirit.
I Dance SAMBA because it is infused in my personality and it is immersed in my memories."
