✨About forró
Forró is both a music style and a dance style that originated in the Northeastern region of Brazil. Like Samba, it has European and African influences. Forró is characterized by its upbeat rhythms, close contact between dance partners, unique steps with lively and dynamic movements in the dance. It's growing in popularity across the globe.
You don't need to be familiar with forró in order to enjoy the show - the band brings amazing musical energy - but feel free to step on the dance floor and ask someone to dance!

✨ Forró in Nijmegen
A community of 'forrozeiros' is forming in Nijmegen as well, and we're very excited to spread our passion for forró through these events. We can’t wait to dance, celebrate, and share this magical night with you!
