Who I am
Nice to meet you! 👋
I'm Matheus Antunes, dance educator & forró teacher
Started dancing in my hometown (BH-Brazil), and later discovered that people love Forró all around the world! 🌎
I moved to Germany in 2018, first teaching at a well-established association in NRW; then came to Berlin in 2021 to start my own autonomous journey: the Balaio.
I've given workshops in 15 countries so far, and still counting…
🇧🇷🇩🇪🇧🇪🇫🇷🇬🇷🇮🇹🇯🇵🇳🇱🇵🇱🇵🇹🇷🇺🇸🇪🇨🇭🇬🇧🇺🇸...
Some of the topics I love are:
- Connection (on dance and social levels)
- Dance Technique (behind and beyond the steps)
- Musicality (transform the music into movement)
