Umbigada
Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found. Umbigada (from Portuguese umbigo, "navel") is a dance move in various Afro-Brazilian dances. Sometimes translates as "belly bump" or "belly blow", [1] it is performed as follows: a dancer opens her arms and extends her navel towards another dancer. The bodies of the two dancers may or may not touch. [2]
It is seen as a "basic feature of many dances imported to Brazil and Portugal from the Congo-Angola region":[1] samba, fandango, batuque and many others.[3]
It is commonly used as an invitation to dance, e.g., during samba de roda ("samba in circle").[2] However it may also constitute an element of the dance itself. [4][3]
