About the INTAKES:
The theme for Term 4 is to practice some of the more of the challenging moves through a sequence which will be built up over a 4 week period. For dancers new to the moves, it will be about learning and practicing the moves, and for the more experienced dancers it will involve some styling / adornments and add-on/alternate moves.
Don't worry, there will be a beginner's sequence and an improver's sequence so you will be able to dance to your limit and what you are comfortable with.
Let's finish 2025 with the best Term of forró dancing!
José, Bianca & Bella

ABOUT FORRÓ
In the world of Brazilian dance, if Samba is the queen then Forró is the king!
Forró is a partner dance with a number of styles from different regions in Brazil. The two most prominent styles are Universitário which is led mainly with hands, and Roots which is led mainly with body and leg movements.
At the ForrÓz dance school we teach both!
Universitário style is a bit easier to start with and is akin to Salsa where we mostly lead with our hands. The genre of forró music that generally goes with it is Xote.
Roots style has more subtle leads, is very dynamic and playful. Forró roots style is generally a lively and faster dance that requires the leader to interpret the music, and has more subtle leads. Maintaining body connection with your partner & holding your balance is a vital aspect - akin to Tango.
There is no partner required, and in our classes dancers are expected to dance with everyone in the class. When you enrol, please indicate whether you prefer to lead, or follow, or both as this will help with us evening up the numbers.
Thank you for considering dancing with us and we look forward to seeing you at our forró dance classes and social events.
Vamos lá galera!
