👤 About Hongsie:

Hongsie is the founder of and teacher at Bora Forró. As a follower and leader, she understands techniques and movements from both sides, which is not only creating a memorable dance experience but also helping her greatly as a teacher. In her classes she aims for easy to understand instructions with fun metaphors. Hongsie is half German and half Native American. Because of her Native American heritage, music and dance has been part of her life since she was born. This transferred into her musicality in forró which is also what people remember the most when dancing with her (leading or following).

She started dancing forró in Cambridge, UK, at the end of 2015 and started co-teaching with Dedé Teles from Let's Forró in Kaiserslautern, Germany in 2016, where they exchanged their knowledge as follower and leader. In the same year, she moved to Edinburgh, UK, where she started teaching forró herself with Bora Forró. 2017 she moved to Amsterdam, Netherlands, and is growing the Bora Forró community in Amsterdam there with a team of teachers in training, supporters and volunteers.
