Samid inventó una nueva forma de bailar cumbia

A segment aired on Showmatch, Thursday, June 11, 2015. The King of Meat and his dance partner, Sofía Macaggi, returned to the dance floor, and the businessman had the host in stitches with an unorthodox trick. Ladies and gentlemen, there's a new way to dance cumbia, and Alberto Samid presented it on the Dancing with the Stars stage. The star of this before-and-after in the tropical music scene is a step christened "the helicopter" by Moria Casán. It consists of opening your hands and letting yourself be carried away by the swing. It looks easy, but it isn't, and there's even a story behind this step, which originated as an idea from the King of Meat himself. Beyond this gem, the choreography of the King of Meat (who stuck his tongue out at the judges at one point) and his dance partner, Sofía Macaggi, improved the judges' perception of the couple. With this performance, and to the rhythm of "Noche de estrellas" by Ráfaga, they earned 22 points. “I see a carefree attitude in Samid, he moves around quite a bit. He’s like Piquín next to Negro Álvarez, and Sofía is spectacular,” said Ángel de Brito, who gave them a 4. “I liked it much more than last time, and it was fun,” was Nacha Guevara’s comment before her 6. “I noticed sensitivity, dedication, and theatricality. He invented the helicopter move. I think you’re just like Porcel,” said Moria Casán, who has the secret vote. “I cried with joy and emotion with you. You and Tinelli make an unstoppable duo,” said Solita Silveyra before her 7. “I like this more relaxed Samid, almost like a teenager on the dance floor,” assessed Marcelo Polino, who gave them a 5.
