What is Brazilian Forró?
Brazilian Forró (pronounced fo-HOH) is a fun and easy dance to learn. Some describe it like salsa with less hips! You dance together with a partner and follow the rhythm. The music stems from a type of traditional Brazilian folk music. Watch the video above for a preview and listen to some of the songs on YouTube here. It is a great dance for beginners to learn thanks to its small, simple beginner steps! Great fun with great people - book your free taster class today and try it out!
Who is the teacher?
Our dance class, Forró Collective (or Forró Coll. for short), is unique because we have lots of teachers! We are a peer-led group, similar to many social groups. We invite a range of world-class forró teachers to give workshops, and teach each other. This is awesome because:
- 💃 We learn from many incredible teachers
- 💃 We learn from and support each other
- 💃 We have wonderful connections with other forró groups
- 💃 We become better dancers having learned from many
Help - I've never danced before!
If you are a complete beginner you are more than welcome. You will be in good company! Our 7pm class for beginners includes people who have never danced before. The basic steps of Brazilian Forró are easy to learn. And unlike other dances, Forró is all about the connection with your dance partner more than fancy steps! Always remember: everyone was a beginner once! Try a free taster session - fun guaranteed.
Help - I'm scared to come by myself!
Don't be! You can come by yourself or with a friend / partner. Many people come by themselves and we have members who come with partners and friends. Forró is a fun dance where you swap dance partners very often. So if you are coming by yourself you will meet and dance with many throughout the night. We've all been in your situation of coming for the first time. You will love it!
