Sao Joao








In Brazil during the month of June, because of the strong dominance of the Catholic Church they spend most nights lighting off fireworks, dressing up all festive like, and dancing the night away with live Brazilian performers. Several years ago, they would have these dances and it was "for all" but because Brazilians couldn't say it it developed into the name "Forro" which became a style of Brazilian dances which is common among this time of year during Sao Joao. We had the opportunity to go to this big celebration thanks to Fernanda where we had our own booth and got to watch things from a distance which made it safer for us. Everyone during the festivities had a blast!
