Vamos chamegar forrozeires - Time to dance some cozy forró
Here some information about our association.
“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.
Build a connection to yourself, other people and the music through dancing and let yourself be carried away.
We will teach you the basic steps, first figures of forró and practise connection while dancing.
A follow-up course ("Aufbaukurs") will start in April 2026.
Further information about the origins of forró and workshops and festivals throughout Europe can also be found on the Forró Federation Europe website (https://forrofederation.com/).
