ABOUT THE COURSE
The Forró Workout Series is a guided dance practice program designed to help dancers strengthen movement fluency, coordination, rhythm, endurance, and technical familiarity through continuous solo forró practice.
Created during the pandemic years as part of the Forró New York online platform, the program was developed as a way for dancers to continue practicing movement vocabulary, footwork variations, timing, coordination, and musical responsiveness through longer uninterrupted dance sessions at home.
Each session combines basic steps, variations, turns, directional changes, rhythmic patterns, transitions, and traditional forró movement vocabulary into 30-minute guided dance practices performed continuously with music.
All exercises are practiced individually, allowing you to fully focus on your own body awareness, balance, posture, musical timing, and movement quality without needing a partner.
The program includes:
-
Warm-up session
-
Basic steps recap
-
16 complete workout routines
This program helps dancers:
-
Improve movement fluency and coordination
-
Strengthen rhythm consistency and timing
-
Develop endurance for longer social dancing sessions
-
Practice footwork variations and transitions
-
Build confidence and familiarity with movement vocabulary
-
Maintain regular forró practice at home
Although the movement vocabulary revisits many foundational forró structures and variations throughout the series, each workout reorganizes the material differently through new playlists, sequencing, rhythmic combinations, transitions, and movement dynamics.
Develop greater movement familiarity, rhythmic consistency, coordination, and freedom through continuous forró practice.
GUIDED PRACTICE & MOVEMENT TRAINING
This guided warm-up and practice session was recorded during an in-person forró workshop in New York exploring rhythm, coordination, body awareness, movement fluency, and continuous dance practice through solo training.
The sessions inside the Forró Workout program follow a similar practice structure, combining guided movement repetition, footwork variations, rhythmic training, transitions, and continuous dancing through full-length practice routines.
Unlike this workshop recording - where you see both the instructor and the group practicing together - the classes inside the online program are filmed from behind the instructor, allowing students to follow and practice the movements more naturally as if participating directly in the session.

STUDENT EXPERIENCES
Many dancers who participated in the Forró Workout Series commented on how the program helped them maintain regular dance practice, improve movement fluency, develop greater stamina and coordination, and become more comfortable with forró movement vocabulary through continuous guided repetition.
Originally developed alongside the Forró Solo Training program during the pandemic years, the workouts also became a fun and consistent way for students to stay physically active, connected to music, and engaged with dancing practice at home.
“Taking forró online has brought me so much joy. Practicing challenging moves, working on balance, and learning from a diversity of teachers have really helped grow my skills and confidence.”
Carey Dufey (New York)
“Forró online has been the silver lining of the pandemics! Each class is filled with creativity, musicality and a lot of fun.”
Anne L. (Ottawa - Canada)
