For the first time in Singapore, Forró - Brazil’s most popular couple dancing among the young and old -will being taught by a native Brasileiro.
Claudinho, our Capoeira instructor, happens to be a great Forró dancer (even though he is way too modest to admit it). Just watch him steering his female dance partner around the dancefloor and you’ll know what I mean by a smouldering sexy Latino taking the lead (no kidding). Unfortunately, I was unable to upload a video of him dancing Forró but this Youtube video is muito bom and gives you an idea of how Forró is danced by os brasileiros themselves.
Even if you don’t have any prior dance background, we can assure you that Claudinho has taught some of us who only boast of having two left feet and we could still Forró quite decently - not to the point of sizzle but you get the idea!
Or you think you can dance but don’t have a partner to dance with, don’t fret. It’s contact dancing so someone will dance with you. And guys, you get to lead! We mulher will just follow…er, your lead…
What to wear? It’s casual. You can even come in your bermudas and T-shirt and dance barefooted. That’s how they dance Forró in Brasil. But if you prefer to come in your work clothes, that’s fine too. So long as you are comfortable.
We hope to gather enough Forró enthusiasts so we can eventually host Forró parties regularly!

Hiyas Flora! ^^ Caule here, just wanting to ask how old you have to be to take the classes? If there is an age limit? It seems like loads of fun and if I can’t take ‘em I can suggest them to my highschool friends, and family! ^^ Please give me a heads up! Your fellow Capoeirista, Caule
((I think I spelt that wrong)) ^^;
Hey, as long as you are old enough to go on a date? How about aged 16 onwards? Wait for the next course coz we’re already halfway through it.
