Forró Classes Sep-Dec 2025
Exciting Updates!
Our Forró community is growing, and we're thrilled to introduce a new, cohesive course program for 2025-2026! We've listened to your feedback and designed a system that will enhance your learning journey and connect you even more with the vibrant world of Forró.
What's New?
We're moving to a trimester-based system! This means new students will have three opportunities per year to start our regular courses, making it easier to follow a clear learning path.
For our returning students, while this brings a bit less flexibility than the old 4-week blocks, we truly believe it'll significantly benefit your learning experience. To balance this, we're reintroducing a flexible trimester option, and drop-ins are still available!
Looking for something specific? We'll also offer an "Open Level Focused Block" course. This 4-week course is perfect if you already know the basics but can't commit to a full or flexible trimester. It'll cover various topics and will run if we have a minimum of 8 people registered before the course starts.
All classes are held at Het Koorenhuis, Prinsegracht 27, Den Haag.
By signing up for the courses you agree with our Terms and Conditions.
Good to Know Before You Dance!
New to Forró or joining us for your first class? Here's some helpful information to ensure you have a great experience:
- No partner needed! You don't need to bring a partner to sign up or attend our classes. We rotate partners regularly in class, which is a great way to meet new people and improve your leading and following skills.
- What to wear: We recommend wearing comfortable and breathable clothes that allow for a full range of movement.
- Footwear: Opt for light and flexible shoes that won't stick to the floor, allowing for smooth turns and steps.
- Personal Hygiene: Forró is a closed-contact dance, so please take extra care with your personal hygiene before class. Coming directly from work? Pack an extra T-shirt and mints or a toothbrush. This helps ensure a comfortable and enjoyable experience for everyone during the class.
Updated Levels
We know many of you love attending Forró festivals across Europe, so we've updated our course levels to better align with what you'll encounter abroad. Here's a quick look at our new structure:
- Beginners 1: Perfect if you have little to no Forró experience! This trimester covers common basics, turns, and the history and cultural relevance of Forró. (Combines previous Level 0 and most of Level 1.)
- Beginners 2: Dive deeper into more complex steps. (Covers the remaining parts of Level 1 and Level 2.)
- Intermediate 1: Covers most of former Level 3.
- Intermediate 2: A brand new more challenging level!
Level Progression: Beginners 1 lasts for one trimester. All other levels (Beginners 2, Intermediate 1, Intermediate 2) have a minimum duration of two trimesters, with different content covered in each.
At the end of each trimester, our teachers will advise students on their progress and whether they are ready to move up to the next level. This is based on day-to-day observation of student progress rather than a single evaluation day.
