Dance, learn to dance, get exercise and be happier all in once, and let your employer pay for it. The health care allowance is a tax-free benefit with the aim of creating well-being at work. This means in practice that you can buy a workshop ticket and let your employer pay – up to a certain agreed limit.

Forró
Forró is a couple dance and a genre of music that originated in northeast Brazil and has evolved to include many different musical beats and dance styles. In the beginning, forró was associated with the working class. However, it is now very much international.
Oh, and by the way – it’s pronounced “faw-ho” because the double “r” in forró is pronounced “ho” in Portuguese.
Our Vision
We envision a vibrant and inclusive forró community in Stockholm where Brazilian music, dance and culture bring people together and contribute to diversity, equality and inclusion.
Our Mission
Our mission is to create high-quality public cultural events in Stockholm where people can experience Brazilian forró through music, dance, workshops and social participation in a welcoming and creative environment.
