OUR FOUNDER
Our community started back in 2017 in Amsterdam thanks to Hongsie!
Hongsie
DJ HONGSIE
Founder
& Former Head Teacher
Going to her first forró lesson in 2015 might have been by chance, but definitely was worth it as she has been in love with forró ever since. Hongsie started teaching early on in 2016 with Bora Forró in Edinburgh. When she moved to Amsterdam in 2017, she started another Bora Forró group here. After a break from 2020 to 2022, she started teaching again in Amsterdam but this time with a team to help grow the forró community in Amsterdam!
​
Leaving Amsterdam at the end of 2024, she is currently travelling in Brazil, and is then moving to Zurich for a new chapter of her life.
​
She teaches or DJs at festivals in Europe, so keep an eye out for her name and don't miss out on a fun workshop with her, or a great set that keeps you dancing!
FOrmer team members
We appreciate not only all the team members from now but also from the past that put time and effort into Bora Forró Amsterdam to help the community. Thank you!
