More about Icaro Abreu
Icaro Abreu Viana was born in Belo Horizonte and had his first contact with forró in his childhood when he lived in the city of Tibau do Sul (RN). As a teenager, he started developing his interest in this manifestation again, but delving deeper into the university style. Immersed in forró since 2009, in 2013 he joined Pé Descalço school as a student.
His first contact with cultural movements came through Capoeira Angola, which began as a child (1996) in the group: Associação Cultural Eu Sou Angoleiro – Mestre João Bosco. In 2017, in order to better understand the cultural relationship of forró with other cultural movements such as capoeira d'angola, samba de roda, coco, maracatu, candomblé, etc he started studying the Itaúnas (roots) style.
As a cultural agent, caro currently works with Capoeira Angola and Forró classes, as well as being part of a Rural Samba group called Samba D'ouro. In his classes, he seeks and encourages the understanding that forró, as a cultural manifestation, encompasses several ways of dancing and that each body can choose what suits it best so that we have a dancing based on respect, dialogue, safety, delivery, and energy.
