We are currently restructuring our courses to start 2027 with a new concept. During this transition period, we will provide a combination of both old and new classes. For our regular participants, class schedule might change. We will be in touch with you personally soon.
During the transitional phase, we are offering the following classes:
From October 21st until (tentatively) December:
Wednesday, Pirouette Studio 1
19:30: Intermediate
21:00: Open Level Prática (guided practice session)
And until the end of November:
Thursday, Pirouette Studio 2
19:45: Intermediate II
21:00: Advanced
Improver (Advanced Beginners) might be interested in our Open Level Prática on Wednesday
Together with our teachers-team we offer a colorful mix in Forró styles: Universitário, Pé Descalço, Itaúnas/Roots. The endless creativity and passion of our talented teachers, which are influenced by the richness of Brazilian rhythms, as well as other dance styles for some extra spice. Joining is possible at any time!
Are you new here? Is forró for you? Want to try?
For beginners and those new to Forró, please come to our social Forró Maneiro Practice Night every Tuesday night. Dance partner is not required. We’ll start with a „Schnupperkurs“ and open dancing afterwards.
Every Tuesday: Beginner class, followed by open dancing (donation-based, ~€5)

Which class is for me?
Everyone can join the Schnupperkurs, and Beginners/Foundation level classes. Prática class is recommended for Improver (Advanced Beginners) and Intermediate. NOT for new beginners, because a skillset/level is required to practice on your own
The teachers can reassign you to a more appropriate level. This is meant to improve your learning experience. The teachers will decide, which level are fit for your current experience, and whether you are ready for the next level.
