 Argentine Zamba is a musical genre and traditional folk dance of Argentina, that was originated in the provinces of Tucuman and Santiago del Estero. Along with the Chacarera, the Zamba is one of the best-known Argentine folk dances, and in 2007 was nominated to be named national dance of Argentina. The Zamba is considered the most romantic of Argentine folk dances. “In Argentina, zamba is the expression of romance ... it’s the symbol of sweetness, the gentleness of love that is sublime, tender, and sensitive. It’s a part of life.” - says Bernal.
As the sun opens the flower's petals, the zamba opens hearts and souls of every person who comes in touch with it! The romantic music fills up our hearts with warmth, tenderness, hope, and love. The dance movements brings balance and stability to our bodies, and harmonizes our emotions. While moving in a particular dance pattern to the music of the zamba, the dancer becomes tuned in with his inner-self, discovering all the hidden emotions. This dance is a true Art Therapy. No partner required. No dance experience required. Wear comfortable cloth (barefoot/socks/training shoes).
