Forró Level 1
Our Forró beginner course takes place on Tuesdays at Pinu'u on a donation basis. Here, you will learn the basic steps and the initial movements of Forró, which you can then try out and deepen during our brazilian dance night that follows. Beware, Forró is addictive!
Forró Level 2
In the Level 2 course, we build on the basics and expand your repertoire of movements in the styles of Forró Universitário and Forró Roots. You will learn different rhythms and concepts in partner dance. The focus is on understanding your own body as well as approaching initial dance techniques. After this course, you will be well-prepared to have a lot of fun on the dance floor. The course takes place on Thursdays at fabric.
Forró Level 3
For the Level 3 course, you should have at least six months of dance experience. Level 3 is an ongoing course, where varied figures and sequences are introduced throughout the 24-week duration of each unit. Therefore, dancers with many years of experience who want to learn new concepts or expand their repertoire are also welcome. After completing the Level 3 course, your dance partners will feel secure in your arms. You will be able to interpret the music with movements, maintain your balance, isolate body movements, dance to different rhythms, and gain initial insights into backleading. The course takes place on Mondays at fabric.
Forró Level 4
The Level 4 course is designed for forrozeir@s with a minimum of one year of dance experience. There is no upper limit here because this course will always have new content for you. Mastery of basics such as posture, embrace, our body axis, and balance in open dance positions as well as during turns should be very well internalized at this stage. Challenging sequences will be taught, with a focus on agility, musicality and connection, applying various corpos de dança (dance bodies). Additionally, we emphasize finding and solidifying your own dance style at this level. The course takes place on Mondays at fabric.
Zouk Level 1
In our Zouk Level 1 course, we aim to lay the foundation for traditional Brazilian Zouk, as this is the basis for all other styles. The Level 1 course is designed for learning rhythm and basic figures and takes place on Thursdays at Tanzhaus.
Samba de Gafieira Level 1
In the Level 1 class, you will learn the basic movements and figures of Samba de Gafieira, as well as technique and connection with your partner. The course takes place on Mondays at Minoritenstr.
Brazilian Dance night
On Tuesday evenings, we offer a brazilian dance night on a donation basis at Pinu'u for you. There, you can review learned course contents, practice together, or simply meet like-minded people for a chat. We are here for you if you have any questions about learned figures or techniques.
Fitness for Dancers
In the Fitness for Dancers course, we focus on balance, endurance, core strength, coordination and flexibility - to keep our bodies healthy, ensuring that we can dance for many years. Here, we will perform targeted exercises to strengthen our muscles, discuss proper body posture during dance and in everyday life, and exchange ideas on topics such as healthy nutrition and mental well-being. Those who dance a lot should always listen to their bodies and pay attention to a well-balanced training routine.
Yoga
A yoga course block lasts 4 weeks. Each block focuses on a specific type of yoga and has a different emphasis. The course takes place on Wednesdays at fabric.
