The Carioca is a 1933 popular song and dance choreography for the 1933 film Flying Down to Rio. It was danced by Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers as part of an extended production dance number illustrating the ballroom dance. While the song has become a jazz standard, the dance did not have longevity. Following the success of Flying Down to Rio, an attempt was made to propagate it as a new ballroom dance, without much success. It was a mixture of Samba, Maxixe, Foxtrot and Rumba.
