I am not an expert in Samba, but I can tell you Samba is much more than that. In fact, the wikipedia article continues and gives a very good idea what is samba (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samba). But no matter how good any explanation is, the unique way to solve this question is to live it! Samba is not just a single dance or genre! Samba is a multitude of genres played, singed and danced in Brazil - most traditional to Rio and Bahia.
I could try to write, but certainly the best way to explain that is linking to samba videos in youtube. So there goes some recommendations but keep in mind that there are much other styles.
So, first a Carnaval Samba - which is probably the most known internationally.

And, the best samba, the one born in Rio played by great names as Vinicius de Moraes, Toquinho, Baden Powel among many others.
