Born out of the ethnicity mix in the Northeast of Brazil in the 1940’s, and popularized first in rural areas, Forró soon conquered space and became the most popular social dance in Brazil. The typical Forró band is composed of a zabumba, an accordion and a triangle. Forró is danced in pairs, in a closed embrace. Many open steps are also possible but the most important is the comfort of your partner in dance. Participating in this dance evening is free of charge.
Social Dance
We regularly organise fun social dances on Amare’s Kunstenplein, in different dance styles such as Latin, tango and lindy hop. Everyone is welcome to join in, from absolute novice to seasoned dancer. A social dance often starts with a dance workshop in a style that suits that evening’s music. The music is provided by a DJ, and sometimes by a live band, ensemble or orchestra. Amare organises these social dances in partnership with dance schools based in The Hague.
