Forró Universitário is a more modern and urban adaptation of traditional forró, with fluid movements, exploring more upper body movements such as spins, and influenced by the culture of southeastern Brazil. This style emerged due to the migration of Northeasterners to the Southeast in search of work due to the drought. There, they settled in search of a better life and brought their culture with them!
