Forró Bristol is a social group of people that enjoy the music, dance, and culture of Forró, that originates from Brazil and is becoming more and more popular around the world. We hold regular weekly classes to help you improve and progress your forró dancing, with our teacher Denis Veloso, and occasional guest teachers. We run beginners courses for those looking to learn the fundamentals of forró through a series of structured lessons. And we also organise regular forró parties throughout the year.

On the 6th April our guest teacher will be Luiz Henrique, who will be bringing his skills and knowledge all the way from Brazil.
Our party in May will be on Saturday 9th May at the Docklands Community Centre. More details to follow.
Big news for 2026, we have a new format starting in January, where we have two rooms available for our classes on Monday evenings. We have our usual class, an extended social dance, and we are running two courses - see the details above.

Please note that the courses have to be booked in advance, and that the social dance is for class participants only (and is included with the Advance Class or either of the two courses).
