Forró

Over deze aanbieder

Forró is music, dance, culture, and history! It was originally born out of the ethnicity mix in the rural Northeast of Brazil. Forró is danced in pairs in a closed embrace, besides having no fixed dance partners, it is a very open community for anyone to join. Many turns and specific footwork are also possible, but the most important aspect is to comfortably enjoy dancing to the music together.

We offer weekly classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays evenings, given in blocks of 4 weeks for four levels, from complete beginners to intermediate. Classes last one hour, and there is 30 minutes for guided practice. More information at the Forró Den Haag website.

Furthermore, we also organise parties with DJs and/or live Forró bands. The parties are often accompanied by workshops of well-known local and international Forró teachers for more experienced dancers, as well as a crash course for absolute beginners right before the party starts. Check out our annual Forró de Tamanco Weekend hosted at Het Koorenhuis and Concordia CC.

The Forró Den Haag team is working to promote this amazing dance and our goal is to inspire more people to try it and grow the Forró community in Den Haag.
