24-25 January 2026, Brussels
Forró meets Fusion has a juicy 16 hours exchange program over the weekend, an opportunity for two vibrant dancing cultures to nurture and grow with each other. The intimate, rhythmic embrace of forró will creatively merge with the expressive, improvisational nature of fusion, to expand your movement possibility and musicality in a single, welcoming space. Workshops, dance, a potluck and the true value of exchange: forging new meaningful connections, breaking down stylistic barriers, and building a more connected social dance family.
Our special guest will be Luís Dalí.
Luís hails from Belo Horizonte in Brazil, where a wind of freedom has enabled him to break away from the standard education of social dance and develop an accessible, fun teaching method that offers keys to individual creativity and bridging what you already now into social dance.
