Dance samba has many different elements. For example: samba step – it is the double steps, which are danced around the cicle too, but there is a samba-step at place. Visky is danced at sides, this is a step and the cover one leg with another leg. Batafoga is danced face to line of the dance, step to diagonal and after that step at side not putting weight on the leg, which we go. And after we do it, we should bend the support knee and to start anew only with another leg.
Volta is a step at side (for example, with the right leg) and another leg (for example, with the left leg) to diagonal and a little bit cross. These are many movements in samba – you will see them at video, which will be at this page.
Face to line of dance – it means that you face around, because some parts of dance are around, and dancers turn face to dance’s line. There is one more definition – back to line of dance. It is the same, but only back.
