The Forró Flow

The Forró Flow

In The Forró Flow, I examine why people dance forró and what it does for their wellbeing. I am especially interested in experiences of transcendence when dancing. My guests range from beginner dancers to people who have been dancing for decades, but one thing that unites them is their passion for dance. Follow on Instagram: @theforroflow
