Silver Samba
Silver allows dancers to show a whole new side of Samba that is almost completely absent in Bronze, which is the varying of body rhythms. Whereas in Bronze dancers are restricted almost entirely to figures that bounce, in Silver dancers are able to sprinkle in figures with different actions, such as the rhythmical pulsing of the Back Rocks or the beautiful smooth leg action of the Plait. Breaking up figures that bounce with figures that are smoother, and varying the rhythms from SaS to SQQ and QQS helps to keep the dance dynamic, interesting, and fun for both the spectators and the dancers.
