About our Guest Teacher
Rafael began his dance career in 2009. Over the years, he pursued different rhythms such as: Samba, Bolero, Zouk, WCS, Bachata, Tango and Salsa - to add techniques to his dance and enrich his specialty: Forró and also Zouk!
At Pé Descalço, one of the most renowned forró schools in the world, Rafael played the following roles:
student;
teacher;
choreographer;
dancer;
examinee;
examiner.
He earned all graduation necklaces (as leader) and until the penultimate one as follower.
2011-2019.
Always considering his responsibility as a disseminator of knowledge, he felt that it was time for a new step and in 2019 he also started his solo project: Forró com o Wilker!
Rafael has built a reputation for bringing technical knowledge and clarity to dance: novelty, cleanliness, fluency, figures, movements that explore dynamism and the senses. He also stood out for his musicality and improvisation. He values classes that are always lively and fun, and most importantly, he brings content in her dance, not only as leisure, but as something bigger, stronger, that heals, rejoices and changes lives (therapy). In his journey as a teacher, he has already held several workshops/festivals in several cities and states in Brazil, including: São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Piauí, Pernambuco, Bahia and, of course, Minas Gerais!

About forró
Forró music, which is original from the early twentieth century, is unique, joyful, engaging, always carrying a message in its melody, a poem in its verses or a simple lament in its protest. “You are entering a world of musical, visual, dance and fun-filled cultural landscape. This is the Forró Vinyl Project."
