South American dance is not performance as such, it is rather identity, celebration, resistance, and storytelling woven into movement. Dancing runs in the city streets through festivals and the routine with its erotic motions of tango and the bursting energy of samba. It cuts across age, cultures, and histories of the Indigenous roots, African beats and European influences. The music does not play in a push and pull fashion here, it calls to people to dance. The story of the dance culture of South America in the form of diversification, assists to learn more than a choreography can reveal the soul of the community, sharing their soul, and having an access to the close relations between the rhythm and life as such.
