Learn Forró in The Hague
We offer regular weekly classes for 3 levels of expertise. Each level is divided into blocks of 4 weeks, and dancers can join those blocks depending on their level. You can join these classes per block or for the full trimester. We have a special option this time, where you can buy a pass for 8 classes in a trimester, in case you know you're going to miss classes due to holidays, kids or life in general.
Until summer will be 6 blocks, or two trimesters. Whatever your level is, we have a class for you. From complete beginner to advanced, you can enjoy and improve your forró with us. By registering to the classes, you agree with their terms and conditions.

What level should I sign up for?
We currently offer 4 levels of instruction. The best way to assess your level is with a dance with one of our instructors. For your reference, here is the overview of what we teach and what we expect from you for each level. You can click on each level for a more detailed descriptions of the levels content.
Important: If it’s your first time having classes with us sign up for Trial class on Level 0 and we will determine which in level you should continue. Contact us at contact@forrodenhaag.nl if you have questions.
Level 0 - Here is your starting point, whether this is your first contact with partner dancing or you need to polish your fundamentals in forró. No dance experience is required. Do you have a background in a different dance style and wanna try forró? Have you danced forró in parties but not taken classes yet? This class is also perfect for you!

Level 1 - Level 1 is where we solidify the foundations of forró. Once you feel comfortable with the most common bases and rhythms, we'll focus on developing your dance technique, enhancing spatial awareness and learn new steps to be done on a closed and open position. Additionally, you'll have the opportunity to start learning about the cultural aspects and rich history of Forró and its role in Brazilian popular festivities. We expect students to stay on Level 1 for at least two full trimesters, while practicing regularly outside of the classes. In this level we work mainly with Forró Universitário style.

Level 2 - On our Level 2 we want to develop the autonomy and confidence of our students. Here we will start to integrate the figures with more fluidity and be challenged to discover your own style and build your own sequences. In this course we give special attention to communication and how leaders can better listen to followers, and how followers can be more active during the dance. We expect students who practice regularly outside of the classes to stay at our Level 2 for at least 2 trimesters. In this level we work with Forró Universitário and Forró Roots style.

We will help you build confidence e perform the movements clearly with comfort and fluidity. We expect students who practice regularly outside of the classes to stay at our Level 3 for at least 3 trimesters. In this level we will work more with Forró Roots style.
