'''Umbigada''' (from Portuguese ''umbigo'', "[navel](/source/navel)"),  sometimes translated as "belly bump" or "belly blow",<ref name="Budasz">{{cite journal |last=Budasz |first=Rogério |date=February 2007 |title=Black guitar-players and early African-Iberian music in Portugal and Brazil |journal=Early Music |volume=35 |issue=1 |pages=3–21 |doi=10.1093/em/cal117}}</ref> is a [dance move](/source/dance_move) in various [Afro-Brazilian dances](/source/Afro-Brazilian_music). It is seen as a "basic feature of many dances imported to Brazil and Portugal from the [Congo](/source/Congo_Basin)-[Angola](/source/Angola) region",<ref name="Budasz" /> for example, [samba](/source/Samba_de_Gafieira), [fandango](/source/fandango), [batuque](/source/batuque_(music_and_dance)), [creole drum](/source/Tambor_de_Crioula).<ref name="Cascudo" />

It is performed as follows: a dancer opens her arms and extends her navel  towards another dancer. The bodies of the two dancers may, or may not touch. <ref name="wadd">Waddey 1981, p. 255.</ref>

It is commonly used as an invitation to dance, e.g., during ''[samba de roda](/source/samba_de_roda)'' ("''samba'' in circle").<ref name=wadd/> However it may also constitute an element of the dance itself.<ref>[http://www.jangadabrasil.com.br/dezembro40/fe40120b.htm "A UMBIGADA EM FILEIRA"], ''Jangada Brazil'', no. 40, December 2001</ref><ref name=Cascudo> Chapter XXII: Umbigada (pp. 130-141 in: [Luís da Câmara Cascudo](/source/Lu%C3%ADs_da_C%C3%A2mara_Cascudo), ''Made in Africa, pesquísas e notas'', 1965, and later editions ([http://www.historiaecultura.pro.br/modernosdescobrimentos/desc/cascudo/ccrdmadeinafrica.htm CÂMARA CASCUDO, Luís da.
