All classes run in 6-week blocks. Between the two classes (20:00 – 20:30), there is practice time open to all students and levels.
Beginners 1, Beginners 2 and Intermediate 1 are booked per block. The Open level can also be joined as a single class.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where are the classes held?

All classes take place at Emma Centrum, Cremerstraat 245, Utrecht. For our workshops we occasionally use other locations in Utrecht, so make sure you check the address on the registration.

What should I wear or bring?

Comfortable clothes you can move in and indoor shoes or socks. A water bottle is always a good idea!

Can I join alone or do I need a partner?

No partner needed! We rotate partners regularly during class.

How do I know which level to join?

Start with Beginners 1 if you’re new. If unsure, feel free to contact us or ask your teacher.

I have previous dance experience (salsa/bachata). What level should I join?

We highly recommend starting with our Beginners 1 course, even if you have prior dance experience. Forró has unique elements, and our curriculum is designed to help you build a strong foundation in the dance.

If you’d like to explore joining a higher level, feel free to reach out to us first so we can discuss the best option together.

What happens if I miss a class or get sick?

If you know in advance that you can’t attend, just let us know. You’re welcome to make up your missed class by joining another class on a different day in the same week.

If you’re unable to attend any class that week, we ask that you review the class videos shared on WhatsApp for that week so you can stay in sync with your fellow forrozeiros for the next class.

Can I attend one class on Monday and one on Wednesday?

Yes! Choose the 2 classes per week option when you register. You can combine your level with a lower level, or any level with the Open level (for example Beginners 2 on Monday + Open level on Wednesday, or Intermediate 1 + Open level on Wednesday).
