Travada / Roots Walk
One of the most famous roots figures! In this module you not only learn what is important, but also how to vary the figure!
Chutinho / Roots Sacada
This figure has nothing to do with football (Chutinho = weak shot). But all the more so with Forró! You can learn the Roots Sacada plus variations here!
Giro Paulista
No - roots dancers don't spin a lot. But when they shoot, it's often the Giro Paulista! You will learn how it works in this module.
Facão
A simple but very effective movement: with a cleanly danced facão you can optimally change direction.
Pendulum dynamics
The pendulum dynamics are demanding - but ingenious, if you can do them! There is not only a video for beginners, but also for professionals!
Coordination of the feet
An extremely helpful module for all styles (not just roots). These exercises help you to optimally adapt yourself and your steps to the circumstances.
Pushing feet
The movement of this module is one of the most flexible movements ever. Therefore, you will learn several variations at the same time.
Bonus module
Here you can activate additional content. There are more FdC videos (other topics) as well as something from Philip's musicality course.
The main characters of the videos are from ...
Forró de Colônia
the Forro- WG of Sarah, Rudolfo and Andre decided in March 2020 not to accept the lockdown idly. They quickly launched the “FdC@Home” initiative. FdC is the abbreviation for Forró de Colonia eV, one of the largest Forró clubs in Germany based in Cologne.
Especially Sarah and Rudolfo are from the European forró scene indispensable. In recent years they have increasingly specialized in the Roots dance style and are pursuing the mission of bringing the difficult movements to the Forrózeir@s in an understandable way.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions - and their answers
Do I need a dance partner?
We can highly recommend it because the learning effect is far greater here. But that doesn't mean that you don't learn anything or that you can't improve if you do the course alone. But it probably needs a little more self-motivation.
What is the difficulty level of the courses?
Different. The course is definitely not for complete beginners. For everyone else, however, it is doable. The Chutinho and the advanced pendulum dynamics are particularly difficult!
Is there a trial offer?
No, there is no such thing in this case. BUT: We have a satisfaction guarantee! If you are not satisfied in the first 14 days after your booking, we will refund your money!
Do Forró courses work online?
It always depends on the course and how it was set up. Sarah, Rudolfo and Andre put a lot of emphasis on exciting, funny content that is entertaining. In addition, the challenges, quizzes and the roots forum ensure fun and exchange among each other!
