Actually, most words or phrases admit of more than one way to
explain them. I thought samba meant "tummies kissing in rhythm or harmony
with each other and the music," with the implication that other parts of
the two bodies were pretending this wasn't happening in public. :)

Salsa, I understand, means "two bodies staggering or weaving in
rhythm or harmony with each other." :) :)
