The Team

Sabrina

My name is Sabrina, I am from Rio Grande do Sul but my heart is the Brazilian Northeast. I’ve known forró since I was very young, but I started dancing and fell in love with the culture when I lived in Trancoso, Bahia in 2007. I haven’t stopped dancing since! I miss the regularity and friends that I made there through forró… it was through the sense of missing all this that forró Bristol emerged, bringing with it a new community, style and friends as special as the one I left in Brazil. Because forró is not just a dance, it’s history, it’s heritage and a lot of love! Long live Brazilian culture!

Maria

Hola! I am Spanish and in particular from the south of Spain, Seville, where traditional music and dance are deeply rooted within my culture. I love dancing, meeting people and music. I still remember my first Forró party where the vibration of the Forró instruments and loud music  made me shiver and fell in love with the dance. Before that night, I did not know that Forró existed and I decided that night to start learning Forró to be able to enjoy the next party! It was many years ago when my friend Andrea invited me to join the party!
