Salsa and Samba dances are originally from Egypt

Salsa and Samba are derived from Oriental Dance originally from Egypt

Oriental dance is very much rooted in South America than what people think.

In fact, if you analyze all the movements that are made in the South American dances, 80% of the movements of Salsa and Samba as an example, are of Arab origin, there are people who believe it comes from the the slaves brought from Africa, but in Africa none where are dances danced with the hips in an undulant way, just Bellydance from Egypt (North East Africa).

So if you get to investigate the Spanish history, you will find that the so-called “Discovery of America” ​​was held just on the same dates the end of Al Andalus, and a few centuries after the expulsion of the Moriscos, who guess where they went to? part to South Armerica and other part to North Africa.

The dance that was danced in the Al Andalus was a merger with Arab and indigenous dances from the Iberian Peninsula, that is, first the Phoenicians more than 3,000 years ago, after the Egyptians with the Muslim invasion, merging with the Iberians and the Celts.

Therefore it’s called Al Andalus Dance, and not Belly Dance, but when it iwas exported to South America (which is where they took the Spaniards who run away from Spain due to discrimination and afterwards expulsion), merged with the dances of the South American natives, becoming current South American dances
