Brazilian Forró Dance Party (& workshop) in Stockholm
About the event
Join us for a Brazilian evening packed with music and dancing on Thursday October 1 in the south of Stockholm ✨🇧🇷
Forró is a Brazilian dance that anyone can try. Simple steps, friendly people, and music that makes it hard to stand still. We start gently, warm up together, and help everyone grow. Beginners learn the basics while returning dancers refine their flow, and before you know it, the boat has turned into a cosy party where you can dance, unwind, and enjoy the evening with us 👌🎶
What is the event about? A playful dance experience with Eva Beronius and Isa Monti to explore more fun, flow, freedom and connection through forró.
Using the basic steps of forró, we’ll explore how it feels to dance: connecting with the music, your own body and another person. Through playful exercises and dancing, we’ll explore what happens when you listen more deeply, notice your impulses and boundaries, and trust your body to let the dance take you somewhere new.
What is forró? Forró is a partner dance and a music genre that originated in northeast Brazil and has evolved to include many different rhythms and dance styles. It was originally associated with the working class, but today it is very much international.
Why should you visit us? Nothing like a good forró party to dance, enjoy great music, meet old friends, make new ones, and have a great time on a Sunday evening.
Never danced forró? Do not miss our dance workshop at the beginning of every event. [Click here to read more about forró dance and music](https://forroproject.com/about-forro/).
Do not have a dance partner? It is very common at forró parties to come without one. We pair up during the workshop, and we dance with everyone at the parties.
