This is a concept introduced to me by my friend Miyuki. It’s advice she received from her father and it makes so much sense.
If you don’t take chances because you’re afraid to fail, you don’t avoid failure, you only delay it. Unless you never take any risks at all–and who wants that life? Entirely safe, but dull and unrewarding.
If you trust yourself, if you take chances, if you go places you have not gone before, if you’re brave, you might fail. BUT, you will fail faster so you can get that out of the way and clear the path for success sooner.
Life is short. Don’t waste time fearing failure. Embrace it as a means to bringing you success faster.
THIS is what “dance like nobody is watching” means. If you look silly, who cares? Move, smile, laugh, have fun, & you win every time.
If you think you dance too well to need them, you’re probably wrong.
Dance classes smooth out your basics, improve your transitions, point out your problem areas so you can improve them, keep you humble, & give you the opportunity to bring new people into your dance world.
Yes, you take dance classes to improve your dance ability. That’s the means to an end.
You also take them to spend time with friends, meet new people, & have fun doing something you love with other people who love it, too. That’s an end in itself.
You take dance classes for social reasons as well as for the activity. You take them to support dance schools and dance teachers and other lovers of dance. You take them to become a part of the dance community.
Join us. We guarantee you’ll have fun!

There are no special requirements for dancing Forro, but relaxed Brazilian style is a good guideline. You should wear cool, comfortable clothing that you can easily move in. Breathable materials are best. Flowing skirts will show off hip movements for women.
The only tricky part is shoes for the forrozeiras (girls who dance forró). Since the followers mostly dance on tiptoes, it is really important to have comfortable shoes that will support the sole of the foot and not slip off the heel. Shoes with heels common in other latin dances are not used, mostly due to the style of dancing but also because it can get dangerous on crowded dance floors. Any flat shoes that will not slip off your feet and allow you to turn easily are good. You can also dance barefoot or in socks.
Forro is a fun party dance so being relaxed and happy are the most important thing!
