33 mins confidence:   peer agreement (net): +1 rhythm (running through their veins)/ rhythm and soul
Explanation:
There isn't an exact term in English, but I suggest this is the best option. If you want to be more poetics, just put "Brazilians have rhythm running through their veins".
Another option is "rhythm and soul".
Hope this helps! :)

Sorry, I just thought I'd explain myself as to why I disagreed with "wiggle" I know the meaning of "wiggle", and yes, I am also aware that if you look up "molejo" it will probably say something similar, but I just think "molejo" is more of an abstract quality. Some inherent rhythm and talent for dancing and musicality that Brazilians seem to have by the bucketload. When you say for example, "ese homem tem molejo", you don't just mean that he moves with short, twisting motions, it's something beyond that. "Molejo" is sexy and charming, and "wiggle" just doesn't have that same connotation in English, if you see what I mean. Just thought I'd explain myself! :)

Historically, many Brazilian grooves evolved from circle dances or rodas, in which participants (originally slaves in a farm yard) would form a circle, inviting solo musicians or dancers into the middle to perform. Roda participants would clap syncopated patterns while simultaneously singing and stepping from side to side. This concept is very useful as a perceptual tool to internalize grooves like samba and baião. By perceiving the rhythm as a bilateral motion, one can place the syncopation of the phrases, accents and structural elements on different parts of the body, literally incorporating the essence of the groove. Compare this to the incorporation of swing lines, which tend to move forward and backward. This motion is best exemplified by the concept of the walking bass line which often accompanies swing-based music. So here we have another fundamental difference: an implied bilateral motion in most Brazilian grooves, as opposed to a back and forth motion representing swing.

Learning capoeira
“The idea that people outside Brazil do not have swing or molejo is a big prejudice. People simply acquire it. It is part of the Brazilian culture to use your body in a more musical way. But if a Brazilian works all day behind a desk, it will also be difficult for him to learn that molejo. So the issue is not national, it is cultural.
