Nova Dance is a type of dance that originated in Brazil. It is a combination of the traditional Brazilian Bossa Nova and modern dance moves. The term 'Nova Dance' was first used in the early 2000s to describe this style of dance. It is characterized by its smooth, flowing movements and its incorporation of elements from other dance styles such as hip-hop, jazz, and Latin. The name 'Bossa Nova' comes from the Portuguese phrase 'nova bossa, ' which means 'new trend.' This style of dance has become popular around the world and is often seen in clubs, on television shows, and in movies.
