Classes & Courses

Classes, courses, and socials are held every Monday evening (except for bank holidays and during the summer and Christmas holidays) from 7pm at the Desperate Men, Mivart Studio in Bristol. 

Our principal teacher is Denis Veloso who brings his unique style, energy, and humour to his lessons. We also occasionally invite a guest teacher down to Bristol to share their unique experience and perspective on forró.

Monday Night Classes & Courses

The big news for Forró Bristol as 2026 starts is that we now have two rooms at the Mivart Studio venue on Monday nights. This means that we can provide a wider range of tuition to the wonderful people of Bristol and beyond from beginners to advanced dancers. There will now be three classes and an extended dance session for class participants to practice their skills. The advanced level class is a drop-in class (as before), and the other two classes are the lessons for the two courses running at the time. 

Forró Courses

We are currently in the process of organising the courses that are due to start in September.  There will be two courses running in September and October, and two courses running in November and December. These will be 7 week courses which you will need to enrol on prior to commencement of the course. More details will by provided in due course.
