In the eyes of people all over the world, samba is the national dance of Brazil, which represents the passion and artistic integration of many nationalities. Carnival is the most important festival for Brazilians. However, Brazilians are not as noble as foreigners' samba, because the black dance brought by slaves in the16th century was classified as "indecent" and "rude" because of physical friction during dancing.

Moreover, the Brazilian government did not reward those who made outstanding contributions to samba, nor did it pay attention to its historical events and things. Therefore, in the years before the beginning of the 20th century, if Brazilians danced samba, they would be regarded as idlers and rogues, and sometimes the police would stop them.
