About our Guest Teacher
Géssica Barreto is an artist, researcher, and forró teacher, with a postgraduate degree in Dance and Body Awareness, and currently pursuing an Interdisciplinary Bachelor's in Arts at UFBA. She believes that forró is a cultural, social, and political movement, and that it is possible to use the body-mind as a tool for revolution, change, and self-awareness.
She has been working as a forró pé de serra teacher since 2018, giving classes in Salvador and other cities in Bahia, as well as in São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Minas Gerais, Espírito Santo, and the Federal District. Additionally, she is on her third European tour, spreading forró across the globe.
Her main goal today is to teach people to dance forró with greater body awareness, autonomy, and creativity, using contemporary and feminist perspectives.
Beyond these aspects, the content, methodology, and teaching style of her classes blend Roots-style forró, shared dance, technique, communication, playfulness, comfort, and musicality, always ensuring a welcoming, relaxed, and non-judgmental environment. Her motto is: “Have the courage to dance to your own rhythm!”

About forró
Forró music, which is original from the early twentieth century, is unique, joyful, engaging, always carrying a message in its melody, a poem in its verses or a simple lament in its protest.“You are entering a world of musical, visual, dance and fun-filled cultural landscape. This is the Forró Vinyl Project."
