Thank you for joining us at the Summertime Forro workshop
Good morning friends (old and new),

Thanks so much for coming out to the Summertime Forro workshop!!!! It was wonderful to see you there. I hope that you learned the basics of forro in a fun and lively atmosphere. It was so great to see your smiling faces and hear your applause when you learned the moves. It was also so much fun that many of you came out to the forro party afterwards.

So many of you asked if we are having another workshop next Sunday, but we don't have the next dated picked out yet. So please stay tuned, follow us on this website/blog/or meet up group and we will let you know when the next one will happen.

Thanks again and keep dancing and smiling and loving life!!
Obrigada,
