So, as I said before, I'm Brazilian, and from Rio de Janeiro, and I know exactly what I'm talking about, because I was born there. Some people, they will disagree with me, because they were not born over there, but that's why I'm going to talk about a little bit about the culture, and the Samba culture. So, about the shoes, about the the the the the clothing, it's pretty much is a very free style of dressing, because is a theatrical performance. Basically, the Brazilian Samba dance is about perform, because this the Carnival is where the Brazilian Samba dance come from, or matched with the the the the dance that is perform in the Carnival; the Brazilian Carnival. And the Brazilian Carnival have its roots from Europe, from the Greek mythology of Bacco, where the theater also come from. And that's why the Brazilian Carnival and the Brazilian Samba is so free, and some people say oh, this is the only costume for Brazilian Samba dance. No, it's pretty much anything, from Ballerina to Cookie Monster. The shoes can be Flamenco shoes. The traditional is a big platform. That's how the Sambistas, the Pasistas perform in the in the Escalade Samba Parade. But honestly, you can even perform with bare feet, and you're going to be totally fine. You just need to use your imagination, and have some fun, because that's what's Brazilian Samba dance is all about.
