About Forró

History, Origin and Characteristics of Forró

Forró is a style of Brazilian dance that originated in the north and northeast of Brazil in the 1940s. It is a dance that involves several aspects, from forró, baião, and drag-pé, known for a lively and contagious rhythm, to Xote which is composed of romantic melodies, with slower steps. Furthermore, forró is a great way to get to know Brazilian culture while learning to dance.

Class Structure:

Forró classes are carefully structured in a flexible and adaptable way, taking into account the individual characteristics of the participants, the context of the event and the size of the group.

Each class is meticulously planned to provide an enriching and inclusive experience for everyone involved, ensuring each participant feels comfortable and engaged.

The organization of activities is adjusted according to the needs and expectations of participants, respecting the specificities of each context, whether in regular classes, workshops or festivals.

About me

Meet your teacher

I have always been passionate about dancing, and my interest in forró began in the 2000s, influenced by Forró Universitário. I started taking ballroom dancing classes and going to forró clubs, like KVA and Canto da Ema, being present since the second edition of the Rootstock festival.

I chose to study Physical Education due to my practice of dancing and capoeira, which had already lasted five years at the time. After participating in several dance festivals, covering styles such as forró, tango, samba de gafieira and bolero, I started teaching forró classes in 2006, at the Centro de Arte e Dança Ana Guerreiro. Over time, I have taught forró to more than 3500 people, in different contexts, including university and postgraduate courses, international festivals, corporate events and social projects.
