Is there any difference between jazz dance, samba dance and rumba dance?

Just because they are from Africa doesn't mean they are alike, just like Chinese folk dances.

The developed jazz dance is the freest of the three dances, emphasizing angle and linear movement. There is no obvious characteristic movement, and all parts of the body are used to express charm. Music is full of features and fancy rhythms.

Rumba and samba belong to the category of national standard Latin dance, and have formed a strict and standardized action system today.

The most obvious feature of rumba is that under normal circumstances, the crotch swings continuously in the shape of "8", and the whole dance is lingering, soft and not weak, which is called "the soul of Latin dance". In the process of dancing, there will be strength confrontation inside the body.

After the development of samba in Brazil, it absorbed some characteristics of national dances in Latin countries, but the most obvious feature was that the knees kept bouncing and the pelvis moved greatly. Samba is still a fluid dance, and it keeps moving during the dance. Its style is passionate, powerful and sexy (in fact, Latin dance is also quite sexy).
