“Forró is the music of the people, made by the people and for the people, it is music for celebration, devotion, fun, communion and struggle.” - Fernando Corrêa.
Join us to discover the world of Forró, a Brazilian rhythm and couple dance!
Forró, the popular couple dance from Brazil, is now also popular in large parts of Europe. What makes Forró special is the versatility of the music and the dance. The music can be interpreted very rhythmically and dynamically, but also sensitively or playfully. Communication between the two dance partners and a feeling for the music take centre stage.
In this course, the content from the beginners' course is deepened. On the one hand, more complex figures and combinations will be shown, on the other hand we will focus on musicality and the different rhythms in Forró.
As there are no fixed pairs in our courses, only individual registrations are possible. Of course, you are still welcome to register together with your friends.
For more information about origins of Forró and workshops / festivals all over Europe you can also check out the website of the Forró Federation Europe:
