Forró

Get ready for a fun and welcoming dive into Forró, an inviting and vibrant partner dance from Brazil! In this introductory class, we'll not only get you moving but also chat a bit about the rich culture surrounding Forró and explore the basic musicality that makes it so infectious. We'll focus on getting the core fundamentals down, like the embrace, feeling the rhythm, and how to clearly lead and follow. Since Forró is a very inviting dance (easy to start, hard to master!), you'll leave already feeling equipped to start socializing and enjoying the dance, no matter which role you choose. We'll have plenty of group practice to get everyone comfortable.
And the best part? Forró is here to stay and ready for you to explore further! Zurich already has a fantastic Forró community with weekly social dance events and classes happening all the time. Plus, if you really catch the Forró bug, there are numerous amazing Forró festivals taking place across Europe every year. So, this class isn't just a one-off – it's your first step into a lively and growing dance scene you can enjoy for years to come!
