Forró, a lively and soulful style of music and partner dance from Brazil’s Northeast, is rooted in tradition and community. With rhythmic, upbeat melodies driven by the accordion, zabumba (a type of drum), and triangle, forró creates an infectious energy. The intimate yet playful dance features smooth, circular footwork, making it easy to learn for beginners while offering room for creativity. We will start with an introduction workshop to help everyone master the basics, followed by DJ Nick do Mundo’s dynamic set, which blends traditional and contemporary sounds to keep the energy high on the dance floor.

Nick do Mundo, a veteran DJ, producer, label owner, and promoter with over two decades of experience in electronic music, has developed a deep passion for world music. His extensive record collection now includes tropical sounds, with a special focus on música nordestina from Brazil’s Northeast. Fresh from a trip to the region, he is eager to showcase rare gems he discovered, including traditional Forró, authentic Xotes, and groovy Baião.
