Forró Workshop with Rudolfo Batista

Rudolfo was born in Olinda, in the state of Pernambuco, Brazil. Even as a child Rudolfo Batista da Silva was passionate about the folklore, the culture but mostly about the dances of this region of the northeast of Brazil (Nordeste). During his childhood he participated in many of the typical parties called Festas Juninas, dancing in the cultural capitals of Pernambuco. When he was 19 he was introduced to the Forró Universitário style, learning it and mixing it with his Forró Nordestino. In 2010 he moved to the city of Cologne in Germany, where he founded the group Forró de Colônia and soon began his learnings about the roots style. In 2022 he moved to Hamburg, where he now teaches and predominantly trains other teachers.

After the workshop, open Dance Floor with Deejay Veesh
