ONLINE CLASSES due to Covid-19

Forró is a partner dance, genre of music, and rhythmic structure from the Northeast region of Brazil. The dance looks a bit like someone squished Argentine Tango, Salsa, and Swing together into one fantastic dance soufflé. The most widely danced partner dance in Brazil, it has become massively popular in Europe over the last decade, but has only recently begun to take North America by storm.
Rafael Wilker has been dancing Forró for over a decade, and is a graduate of Brazil's most well-known Forró conservatory, Pé Descalço. He is widely recognized for his superb musicality, infectious energy, and excellent teaching ability, and has taught at festivals, intensives, and workshops in just about every corner of the world. In addition to dancing Forró, he has also studied and dances Zouk, Samba de Gafieira, Bolero, Argentine Tango, and West Coast Swing. His wide-range of dance knowledge makes his classes especially useful for people with previous dance training who now want to learn Forró. He'll be in NYC for only two days while on his first official tour of North America. Don't miss the chance to learn from the best!
