Sampa was born and raised in São Paulo and was influenced by popular music styles of the seventies and eighties. He began DJing Samba, Samba-Rock, Rap, Hip Hop and Funk-Soul in the nineties at parties. Sampa's first contact with Forró Pé De Serra was at the end of the 1990s in the first movements in the capital of São Paulo.

He has been a professional DJ since the 2000s and has performed at clubs and events in Europe, opening shows for singers and instrumentalists. Between 2007 and 2010 he DJed at Clube do Forró and Gafieira in Zurich and since 2014 he has been studying Forró Pé De Serra in its traditional context.

About our Guest Teacher
Arthur Lorenzo is a forró teacher and researcher, born in 2000 in Belo Horizonte, Brazil. A trans man, he began his dance journey at the age of 14 through a social project at Pé Descalço school — an internationally recognized institution — where he trained and achieved the highest levels of the methodology, earning advanced certifications as both follower and leader.
Without a family background in forró, Arthur found in dance a space for personal transformation and expression, which quickly became central to his life. At 17, he decided to pursue teaching professionally, working between 2017 and 2019 in four units of the Pé Descalço school in Belo Horizonte and São Paulo.
After his first European tour in 2019, he began his solo career and started developing his own style, influenced by his background at Pé Descalço, as well as by both forró universitário and forró roots, creating a dance that bridges the two most practiced styles today.
At the same time, he developed his own teaching methodology, proposing an approach that goes beyond step execution, using life analogies to deepen the understanding of movement, connection, and expression in dance, with a special focus on musicality expression.
Since then, he has followed a nomadic path, teaching workshops, regular courses, and private lessons across Brazil and Europe. In Brazil, he has worked in multiple states including Minas Gerais, São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Bahia, Espírito Santo, and Santa Catarina. Internationally, he has taught in countries such as Switzerland, Germany, Italy, France, Russia, Belgium, England, and Portugal.
His approach integrates technique, listening, sensitivity, and reflection, creating experiences that go beyond the body and reach the individual as a whole.

About forró
Forró music, which is original from the early twentieth century, is unique, joyful, engaging, always carrying a message in its melody, a poem in its verses or a simple lament in its protest. “You are entering a world of musical, visual, dance and fun-filled cultural landscape. This is the Forró Vinyl Project."
