Another step into the great world of Forró culture: In this course we will dive deeper into Forró Universitário and Forró Roots. It is the fourth course in an ongoing series of courses and will be led by Gustavo de Morais. If you have not completed the first three courses, you should have mastered the following concepts: Travas, Sacadas, Paulistas, aspects of musicality in dance, some five-step turns and Universitário turns. Experience with concepts of the body, connection and awareness are also desired. If you have any questions, please contact gustavo.demorais@forroleipzig.de
