Forró dance demonstration by Bernard Bento Salles (Vitória, Brazil) and Milena Morais (Belo Horizonte, Brazil) at the closing of the roots style workshop during the Forró New York Weekend 2019.
This improvised dance performance was recorded on the final day of classes, following a workshop focused on forró roots style. Rather than presenting a choreographed routine, Bernard and Milena explore the music through improvisation, partner connection, rhythm, musicality, and the characteristic movement vocabulary of social forró dancing.
Forró is a Brazilian partner dance and music tradition originating in Northeastern Brazil. Today it is danced throughout Brazil and in growing communities around the world, while remaining deeply connected to the rhythms, culture, and social traditions of forró pé de serra.
Known for their musicality, connection, and authentic approach to roots-style dancing, Bernard and Milena have taught and performed at festivals, workshops, and social dance events across Brazil and internationally.
Recorded during the Forró New York Weekend 2019, one of the largest Brazilian forró events in the United States.
Forró New York Weekend is a recurring forró festival produced by Forró New York since 2019. The festival brings together dancers, instructors, musicians, and DJs from New York, across the United States, and around the world for a weekend of workshops, social dancing, live music, and community celebration.
