Brazilian Music and Dance

[Perkele]

Being that I live in NYC, it seems I've got some options for taking classes in the above dances.

Was wondering if the regulars here think it's worth the effort. I don't know too much about this "samba de gafieira" thing, whether gdps like it or dance to it or what.

It seems that forro is better known and popular but I thought that was more a northeastern Brazil thing and that cariocas and paulistas wouldn't be into that sort of genre.

From what I've seen of forro videos on YouTube, some of the patterns look a lot like salsa which I'm pretty good at so I think I can adapt and learn it.

But I don't want to waste time learning something that the GdPs don't care for. I can always just dance to house/techno/disco.

Basically, if it will help me build rapport with some of the GdPs and maybe even a non-pro, then I'll give it a shot and take some classes. What do the experts here think?

Honestly, without trying to be an asshole, gdps do care about content of your wallet not your dancing skills.

If you try to impress "normal" women, your skills in different dances may prove useful.

I don't care about dancing, but if I'm not completely wrong in Rio AXE should be more useful.

First you need to speak the language though....

Hi, out of curiosity ... I'd like to know the somatic types of the girls in Mato Grosso. Are they beautiful like in Goias?
Thanks

Trawling around the depths of facebook I came across some interesting stuff. Monte Carlo and Help are both on it. Though why anyone would want to tell the world they hang out there is beyond me. But the Monte Carlo group (with 1 member, the manager I suspect), does have a link to it's website. Which might be useful for newbies.
