forró academy
London
Forró Academy is a Brazilian dance school based in London, UK, running weekly
forró dance classes for all levels, as well as regular forró workshops and
parties.Gino is the founder of and lead teacher at Forró Academy. He has been
dancing for over 15 years, initially training as a flamenco dancer, which
enabled him to develop a solid individual technique. In recent years, Gino has
focused on partner dances, particularly forró, which he was drawn to because of
the diversity and richness of the music and the creative possibilities of forró
as a dance form. Gino has studied with some of the leading forró dancers in
Brazil and around Europe, absorbing the two main styles of forró (roots and
universitário) over many years and forging a unique style that combines the two.
Through Forró Academy, Gino aims to share his passion for forró with his
students, and to help them become confident and skilled dancers. OUR STUDENTS
