1 of arm hand movements & body positions is same as Brazilian late 1800s early 1900s Maxixe, & from earlier 1800s Lundu, both ultimately from Landllers-AustriannGerman Swiss folk dances (see, fir exakklle, Sound of Music film & dance excerpt videos.
Brazilians & Belizeans use that particular Landler hold, but also both partners lean over in 360
degrees circles bending/ leaning from waist. Who learned which from whom? Before photo & film, people simply had to see & learn in person. You
