Forró Festival FAQ

  • Where can i sell my Festival Ticket if i cannot go?

    • Usually every festival has its own Facebook site where you can offer it.
    • A chatgroup exists where you can sell your tickets. Ask your dancers in your community they can invite you.
  • Is it possible to get a discount on my ticket?

    • Many festivals need helpers and offer discount or even free tickets if you commit to help a few hours.
  • What should i know before i visit my first festival?

    • Many festival locations don´t have a great air condition, so you might want to bring a spare t-shirt.
    • During the workshops you might not be able to buy something to drink, so bring a water bottle.
    • Every festival provides beginner, intermediate and advanced workshops.
  • How much experience should i have before i go to my first festival?

    • As a leader it might be smart to do at least one ore two dance courses before you visit your first festival. But remember a nice dance is not about making a huge amount of movements. Its more about feeling and dancing to the music.
    • As a follower you can go immediately. It might be smart to ask good dancers for improvement suggestions or even to take a private class, which usually all Forró teachers offer around a festival.
