Dance Styles - Forró (Street Latin)

Welcome to Forró (pronounced FO-HO with short “O” sound), a lesser-known dance style originating from the north-east of Brazil. Forro is very relaxed, a bit folk-style and is generally danced in a close dance frame - ideal for snuggling up to your partner!

Click here to read an article and see an audio slide show from The New York Times about Forró (refer to the links at the end of the excerpt).

At BoogieCamp, we use a combination of traditional Forró music from Brazil along with other music genres like reggae and jazz.

Dance Steps & Videos

Please note that these videos refer to the Forro steps in Brazilian Portuguese.
