Forro workshop @ The Zed Shed Penryn

Forró: Introduction to Brazil’s Beautiful Dance

A dance of rhythm, embrace, and playful connection — simple to learn, uplifting to dance, and open to everyone.

Following Cornwall’s first ever Forró workshop, we’re delighted to welcome Filipe Abreu back for a second class before he returns to Brazil.

This workshop is perfect for total beginners and those who joined the first class. More experienced dancers are also very welcome.

✨ Guest teacher: Filipe Abreu (Salvador, Bahia, Brazil)
A much-loved dancer who has inspired Forró communities across the world, Filipe brings warmth, humour, and a deep love for the music and movement of Bahia.

This is the second Forró workshop in Cornwall, part of our growing Barefoot Forró community. Alongside these workshops, we host informal practice sessions where we explore, connect, and sometimes invite guest teachers and musicians to share their knowledge.

Forró is about dancing with ease, connection, and openness. Everyone is encouraged to try both leading and following, regardless of gender.

No partner or experience needed — just bring comfortable shoes and an open mind.
