The Dance that Scandalized Brazil

Rank and file Brazilians are known for their dancing ability, and their willingness to try any new steps that come along. However, the clip below has even Brazilians up in arms.

The setting is in the Brazilian congress, where one of the members (the guy on the phone at the beginning of the video) of the ruling socialist party is being tried for corruption. The whole country knows that he is most obviously guilty, however he is absolved. The voices you hear in the background are the "no" votes of legislators who are voting not to indict him.

Enter the lady in the beige jacket. She is a coleague of the man being tried, and she does a little dance to commemorate his victory.

The whole country is in shock at her brazen show of contempt for the justice system.
