Fabio has always had and retains to this day the eternal curiosity, so necessary for those who do not spend a day without dreaming, learning something new and continuing to evolve. I feel happy and honored for the man and professional he has become. I really fill my chest to speak with pride, that I was fortunate to be your teacher in the first years of your training and today it is wonderful to see you teaching Forró with love, respect and enthusiasm to so many beautiful people from all over the world.

= Master Ivan Ribeiro | Brazil =

Through Fábio I woke up and awakened my inner path of knowledge. It strengthens me to connect with my superior self, with my students, with everyone and with the whole. In this way, I always need to challenge my fears and insecurities.

= Teacher Daiara Paraiso | Brazil - Germany =

I love Fábio's classes and I learn a lot from him. My body, my dance and my life have been transformed since the first contact I had with him. I'm eternally grateful for everything I've been learning. I feel more sensitive to my dance, to my connection with the other and very happy to have gained so much autonomy and for always awakening the desire to learn more and more.

= Teacher Fernanda Brito | Brazil =

Fábio Reis is one of the big names in Forró all over the world. He is a lovely person and is in my world selection of dancers.

= Master Jaime Arôxa | Brazil =

Fabio's class is the most inspiring Forro class for me. I learned a lot from him not only about the techniques, but also about rhythms, body movements, interpretation of music and how to express it. If you are a Forro dancer, then you should take your course :)

= Doonghoon Son | South Korea =

Fabio Reis is a brilliant Forró teacher with a focus on musicality and expression in the dance itself. He will help you reach the next level in your dance, making you gently get out of your comfort zone and try new movements. You will learn to have even more fun while dancing, using your creativity and creating a connection with your dance partner and music.

= Sylvia Kunz | Germany =

Better than saying I can teach you Forró, is showing the opinions of my mentors and students.

FAQ

Is this class for anyone?

Yes. Forró Xperience classes are for anyone, of any gender or age, who wants to learn forró in a welcoming and structured environment. Whether you're a complete beginner or already have some dance experience, you'll find the right level for you.

Do I need dance experience to join?

Not at all. Our beginner classes are designed specifically for people who have never danced before. You'll learn step by step in a comfortable, supportive atmosphere.

Do I need to bring a partner?

No. You can join the classes on your own. We rotate partners during class so everyone gets to practice with different people and develop their skills.

I want to come with my partner. Am I have to switch partners?

Nothing is mandatory in our classes. If couples in a relationship prefer not to switch partners, that's absolutely fine. Everyone should feel free and comfortable to enjoy the class however they wish.

What language is the class in?

The classes are taught in English. As Fábio's German studies progress, he incorporates more and more of what he learns in German into the class explanations.

Is dancing good for my health?

Absolutely. Dancing is excellent physical activity that improves fitness, coordination, and balance. It's also great for reducing stress, anxiety, and boosting your mood—all while having fun and meeting new people.

I've never taken a class but I dance my own way at parties. Will I learn anything?

Yes, definitely! Our classes will give you body awareness, musicality, technique, and connection skills. Your dancing will improve significantly, and you'll feel much more confident on the dance floor.

What if I feel shy or embarrassed?

That's completely normal, and you're not alone. Our classes are designed to be welcoming and judgment-free. Everyone starts somewhere, and we create a safe space for you to learn at your own pace.

Will I be able to go out dancing after taking these classes?

Yes! Our goal is to prepare you to dance confidently at parties, festivals, and social events. You'll learn the essential steps, rhythm, and connection skills you need to enjoy forró anywhere.

What should I wear to class?

We recommend light, comfortable clothing that allows total freedom of movement. Since our studios are equipped with professional dance flooring, please bring separate footwear exclusively for class (not the same shoes you walk the streets in). Dance sneakers or shoes with smoother soles are ideal. This ensures the proper glide for turns, prevents joint injuries, and maintains the quality and hygiene of our space.

How do I sign up for a trial class?

It's very simple! Click the "I Wanna Dance Forró" button to send us an email directly with your interest. Alternatively, you can also come to any of our classes in person and speak directly with the teacher to ask questions and see the space.
