ABOUT THE TEACHERS
Luiz is from Minas Gerais in Brazil. He has been living and dancing forró in Stockholm for several years and has developed his own style of forró mixing forró universitario and forró itaunas, focusing in a playful and enjoyable dance, with the motto that forró should always be fun!
Martim comes from São Paulo, Brazil’s largest city and with a historical samba culture that rivals Rio. He has danced gafieira for many years and has participated as a student and teacher in open social projects in São Paulo. Given his background, he prefers a more relaxed approach to teaching to get people to love gafieira and to think it is easy despite it relatively high technical difficulty.
