The progressive forró courses for Spring 2025 are here! ✨💛
Early Bird discounts valid until end of February 28.2.2025!
Welcome to have fun, meet new people and learn forró – a beautiful, playful and versatile Brazilian couple dance (and a music genre), originally from the northeast of Brazil! This spring we have three progressive 10-week forró courses; Fundamentals, Improvers and Intermediate I.
At Baião Helsinki we wish to spread the joy of forró! Our classes have an emphasis on the Forró Roots style, while still combining with Forró Universitário. One of our main focuses in on increasing dialogue in the dance, making the dance a conversation. Baião Helsinki is a project founded by Johanna Alatalo and Suvi Lukka.
WHICH COURSE TO CHOOSE?
🟢 FORRÓ FUNDAMENTALS (0-1 years of dancing forró)
Want to get started in Forró? This course is for you! In this course we will learn the basic techniques and movement repertoire, that are essential to forró, both the universitario and roots styles. We will learn about connection in forró and create a good foundation to build upon. We will get to know forró as a brazilian cultural phenomena. In this course we start exploring a theme consistent in all the courses; how to make the dance as comfortable as possible!
It is recommended to spend multiple seasons in this course to strengthen ones foundations, even if continuing to the improvers course or further.
🟠 FORRÓ IMPROVERS (1-2 years of dancing forró)
Ready to take your dance to the next level? Already completed a beginners course at minimum? In this course the focus shifts more to the roots style, while still combining and mixing the styles. We begin learning the basic roots repertoire as well as strengthening our awareness of the flow of dance and creating sequences. We also work with body awareness and more detailed techniques.
It is recommended to spend multiple seasons in this course also to strengthen the techniques. Depending on the season, we practice different variations, so there is new content even if you have taken the course before.
🔵 INTERMEDIATE I (2 years or more of dancing forró)
This course is suitable for dancers who already have a good knowledge of the basics of the roots style (improvers course) and have already danced forró for at least a few years. Attending the course requires good balance and body awareness.
We continue further into the roots repertoire, while still combining the styles. We dive deeper into dialogue in dance, and also explore topics such as creativity and musicality.
