Imagine if tango and salsa had a secret love affair… and their child grew up in Brazil. That’s forró. A dance that blends the intimacy of tango with the playful turns of salsa—plus a little Brazilian warmth and spontaneity.
This week, I sit down with Rafael Piccolotto to explore how Forró evolved, how it compares to tango, and why dance cultures develop such specific rules (like cabeceo vs. straight-up asking someone to dance). Spoiler: forró dancers might find tango etiquette terrifying. 😅
