We can’t wait to come together for another edition of our Festival, combining Forró, Samba de Gafieira and Brazilian Zouk… From the 5th until the 8th of February 2026 our well known location (Tanzhalle Freiburg) will host a team of incredible teachers, DJs and musicians, who will share with us the music and knowledge of three different couple dances!
This is a festival where you can participate if you want to focus and deapen your knowledge of one dance only, if you want to learn about the differences and similarities between the dances, if you want to try out something completely new and explore… Whether you are beginner or experienced, everybody is welcome on our dancefloor.

Some information about the concept of the festival:
There will be welcome workshops on friday evening before the party starts (inculded in every Pass).
One workshop will be about Samba no pé, and then we will start the Festival with a Roda de Samba.
On saturday and sunday we offer 4 workshops at the same time:
- Forró
- Samba de Gafieira
- Brazilian Zouk
- “Fusion” workshops open for everybody, with content that can be applied in all three dances (about topics like connection, musicality, tecnique, body awareness, concepts of roles in couple dance, etc).
During the parties, most of the time, you can choose freely between the 3 dancefloors.
The last moment of the saturday party will be a moment of fusion, bringing together all three dances on one floor. Other moments of fusion will happen on sunday, with DJ sets highlighting the overlapp between 2 styles while the third is being played on the second dancefloor.

THE DATE CHANGED!
This Festival was postponed from autumn 2025 because of a simultaneous Gafieira Festival in Barcelona (which was announced after our festival). We want Samba to grow, not to have two events at the same time, so that Sambistas need to choose between the two events. After the success of our last event in 2024, we want to create this flow between all 3 dances again, bringing together the Forró, brazilian Zouk and Samba communities of Europe. February is a month with fewer festivals, so let’s bring some more joy into the cold winter! See you in 2026 🙂
