Monday its always a big deal for many of us, so let's start the week with some funny news!

Japan beat the record for the largest film orgy, 500 people, 250 women and 250 men having sex in the sametime in the same room.The small party is already on DVD. (Jesus,I don´t want to even think about the funny Japanese sounds during the sex...hehehhehe)

British couple was sentenced by the courts for having noisy sex and disturb neighbors. (Yeeehaaaaaaa)

Decisions!

One of the things we all have to do during our lifetime is to take decisions. Even sometimes we do not have any choice, I believe we can take decision from the point we have been forced to be at the moment we could not decide a shit. And then we ask: SO, NOW WHAT?

Now, from my side, I am taking my decisions, my choices, like mostly all the time I did. I did not choose to be a dancer, the dance has chosen me, I just decided to accept the fact and keep doing what I suppose to do. Now I am thinking about what to do from now after all I have done and really thinking to back to my basis, to bring back to my life and body the contemporary dance that I also belong to.

I still have a lot to say and writing a blog for God knows who is not all. The body language is bigger then my words, and the truth is, I can not wait that long to decide cause than my body will not respond anymore. I have to blame with myself and just do it now and here, not stay only disappointed because the city I live has not developed contemporary dance, comparing to the other places in Europe and comparing with all I have seen and done.

So I hope I can go on with my decision, and I do not know how long can take to make it happen, but please, take my feel words and look to yourself now, are you doing what you have to do? Are you taking your decisions right on time? If you did not... just do it now, do not wait tooooooooo long for that.

Did you know

As a dancer,and having my body as my mainly material to work,here are some interesting things about our body.

The length from your wrist to your elbow is the same as the length of your foot.

Your heart beats 101,000 times a day. During your lifetime it will beat about 3 billion times and pump about 400 million litres (800 million pints) of blood.

It is impossible to lick your elbow. Well, for most people... but a few can.

Your mouth produces 1 litre (1.8 pints) of saliva a day.

On average, people can hold their breath for about one minute. The world record is 15 minutes 2 seconds, by Tom Sietas..

The human head contains 22 bones. More on the head and brains.

On average, you breathe 23,000 times a day.

On average, you speak almost 5,000 words a day - although almost 80% of speaking is self-talk (talking to yourself).

Einstein's brain was of average size (1375 grams - 49oz).

Over the last 150 years the average height of people in industrialised nations increased by 10 cm (4 in).

If the amount of water in your body is reduced by just 1%, you'll feel thirsty.

It is impossible to sneeze and keep one's eyes open at the same time.

55% of people yawn within 5 minutes of seeing someone else yawn.

Hippocrates, the Father of Medicine, suggested that a woman could enlarge her bust line by singing loudly and often.

A person can live without food for about a month, but only about a week without water.

You'll drink about 75,000 litres (20,000 gallons) of water in your lifetime.

Hair on the head grows for between two and six years before being replaced. In the case of baldness, the dormant hair was not replaced with new hair.

Men loose about 40 hairs a day. Women loose about 70 hairs a day.

A person remains conscious for eight seconds after being decapitated.

The first human sex change took place in 1950 when Danish doctor Christian Hamburger operated on New Yorker George Jargensen, who became Christine Jargensen.

You blink 15 000 times a day. Women blink twice as much as men.

The liver is the largest of the body's internal organs. The skin is the body's largest organ.

In 1900, a person could expect to live to be 47. Today, the average life expectancy for men and women in developed countries is longer than 70 years.

The bones in your body are not white - they range in colour from beige to light brown. The bones you see in museums are white because they have been boiled and cleaned.

Our eyes are always the same size from birth.

We actually do not see with our eyes - we see with our brains. The eyes basically are the cameras of the brain. One-quarter of the brain is used to control the eyes. Well.good to know.

Sambando!!!

Yesterday my students once again suprised me.In a good way! The people that are longer with me, taking Samba lessons, pushed me to remember my mam saying something like: Oh my god, do you really want to teach people Czech is samba? hehehehe

As many people, my Mam thought that would be a waste of time to do that, but not only with Czech people but with all those are not Brazilian. Well, my mam was wrong!
My students showed me that yesterday. They are cute ... does not look like the girls that arrived in my lesson on the first time with that jéžiš maria faces!
They can understand the music I am playing, mostly all the time knows what I mean and even laugh with my mistakes hehehe

Thanks girls, I am really happy to see you everyday better and better!

Swimwear 2009

So, the summer is coming as I said before and here is some Brazilian inspiration for what will be fashion on the beach this year...hehehhe

For girls the models for 2009 are discreet and sophisticated. Far from the Brazilian pattern that we used. The bikinis also got bigger! The panties are bigger and the up part are more like a top and not anymore like a bra.

The men's swimwear is well diversified for the summer ... Different colors and more modeling behavior. Those small swimsuit is not IN anymore... Thanks god, I hated them hehehhe
The sides are wide. They revolve around the lower trunks, now a little higher, with modeling short shorts and more traditional shorts wide and long.



The happy colors are still IN... but mostly on the details, so please, do not go to the beach with your 100% shining Pink or Orange hehehehe

Girls...Have fun!
Boys...Have fun!
Because I will hehehehe
Pusu!

Brazil and Brasil

For many times I got really angry with the BraZilian stereotype... and I would like to make at least people around me, to understand that the Brazil with Z is not the same Brasil with S. Mostly all the time the letter Z informs us that people are talk about one country which they do not live in or do not know very well. And that means a lot of mistakes and wrong stereotype as Samba, Rio, sun, carnival, black people and football everyday for whole year.

How many people know that we have also cold weather, 0 ºC and snow sometimes? That we have 5.561 cities and only few of them has beach? That means people do not use bikini all the time. Does it people knows that we all are not black? Only 6,3% Brazilian are black. The reason people believe in that is because of the black people on Carnival parade? Or maybe the many famous football players or the terrible movies like City of God? We are mixed with other bloods, as Portugal, Africa, Italy, Spain, Germany, Japan, China, Arabs Lebanon, so how could we be all blacks? Does the people around the world knows that even we have the biggest forest in the globe we do not live there inside and snakes, monkeys and elephants are not walking normally on the streets? We have some Indians living there with totally pure culture but some others has also internet? People Knows we have so many different culture, people, music, food, dance, religion and so on among the 27 states?

Some people get surprised after see a whole show of Alo Alo because I, Marcio Slam, more than a choreographer I am a person totally in love with Brazilian culture and do not want to give up to show in my performances with my group that we are samba, but not samba only, we are Brasil with S. That´s why sometimes I got angry with questions like: OH, you are Brazilian and how is possible you are not black? Oh, Brazilian... samba, sex, Ronado... How is possible you do not like football? I really believe that nowadays information is very available for most of the people, but I know not everybody has to know all about one country that they do not belong to, they do not need to know that the capital of Brasil is not Rio de Janeiro. That´s why I think is my mission as an artist living abroad and using the culture of my country, to show the people more than people who write Brazil with Z is showing. My performances are not only about sexy black dances, they are also blond, white, green, orange... it´s about culture.

We need Samba!

Last Tuesday, just after my lessons, I have been to K.U Bar for one performance of Alo Alo with the Brazilian singer André Sah. Was quite funny, some of my students came to show up and like always during the performances days, I met a lot of People which I cannot remember their names. Well,or the people has to forgive me for that or I should write it down with the pictures of the people under...Anyway...That day, one friend of mine in face book, by coincidence, wrote me to ask where she could go to dance and/or listen samba outside the lessons, I told her about the evening in K.U Bar and she came... actually she danced quite good sambaJ

The thing is, how to make the owners of bars and clubs to play more samba music, and better than that, start to promote more parties with Brazilian and Carnival stuff? Well, the answer is quite easy, people like Eva, Daša , Irena and the other people was there in a Tuesday evening, should really go to support not only the samba movement or me or Alo Alo or Andre Sah... but should go to support parties they like to go. Samba there is no yet the same fever like salsa has, first of all, because Samba comes from one country only, and salsa from many different places, and second, the Brazilian community is not that big here in Prague as in London, Paris, Berlin, US... places whit big big big Brazilian events very often.

So, my message for you today is: Keep helping the samba movement grow up in Prague going to parties even to say hello if you cannot stay longer and dance until finish. And behind of this message about helping samba movement has another one that it is: Help and support everything you believe and make you happy!

PUSU...M

Playing...

As you know, Brazilians are very into music and consequently dance. As many of my students keep asking who are the singers and groups I play during my samba lessons he is some names and tips about them.

Ivete Sangalo is the queen of Axé nowadays but this position, for me, she has to share with Daniela Mercury who started before Ivete and has a lot of awards and international career with 12 millions albums sold worldwide plus 8 millions only in Brazil. Both of them comes from Bahia and have a incredible vocal capacity and you can see all biography and discography in English at Wikipedia.

Mart´nalia, who is my new affair, one of my favourite cds is the one Live in Berlin. She has a famous father, Martinho da Villa, a samba singer also very good that I use to play time by time.

Elza Soares, Jesus...this one is incredible…she is 71 years old and still performing in her best with a unique voice that Louis Armstrong used to call her: My Daughter.

Also, I like use to play Roberta Sá, É o than, Margareth Menezes, Beth Carvalho, Olodum, Timbalada, Alcione, Fernanda Abreu, Carlinhos Brown, Monobloco, Zeca Pagodinho, Jorge Aragao...

Well...are many great things I use during my lessons… with the names you can find in internet more about them. After, I will bring you another list of Brazilian singers that I do not play on my lessons.

Have Fun!
