Forrozeiros celebrate with the Festival in August in the UK. The years have passed and the forro has expanded more than ever. In addition to the nights with classes and live music, the groups have organized and done festivals throughout the year in several countries.

The forrozeiros are so passionate about dance that even in London, six nights of the week are  dedicated to dance, to make it a point to participate in events in different countries. In July, the Lisbon Festival was attended by many people who live in the United Kingdom.

The festivals are still intensely for Europe: in Lisbon (Portugal), in Amsterdam (Netherlands), Aachen (Germany), Paris (France) and Vienna (Austria). The United Kingdom has not been different. The focus is London, in spite of also being in Oxford and Birmigham

The teacher of dance known as Douglas Dance reported an interesting fact: “ the British are looking for my classes with the intent to learn forró and incredibly want to learn the lyrics of songs from “forro ” .

The festivals are still intensely for Europe: in Lisbon (Portugal), in Amsterdam (Netherlands), Aachen (Germany), Paris (France) and Vienna (Austria). The United Kingdom has not been different. The focus is London, in spite of also being in Oxford and Birmigham
