Have you heard about πΈπππ
πππππ? The most popular folk dance in Festa Junina.
The wedding ceremony and the πΈπππ
πππππ dance are important components of this folk festival of St John, St Anthony or St Peter. In fact, in the north of Brazil, it is still common for couples to want to marry during the Festa Junina which also marks the celebration of the harvest. It brings everyone together. The βfakeβ (or at times real) wedding ceremony is followed by the πΈπππ
πππππ which is part of the wedding celebration.
The πΈπππ
πππππ is a narrative. So, donβt be afraid of participating because, on the day of the event, we will tell you what to do and when to do it. You just need to pay attention to the instructions as the commands will also be said in English.
There will be some pranks during the dance (especially when we take a βstroll around the farmβ), where I may say βOMG itβs raining!β and you will have to protect yourself from the rain, which is what we usually do, right? Or I might say βWatch out for the brown snake,β and you will need to jump, because you donβt want to step on the snake, right?
Believe me, it is fun!

Nothing, no fancy dressing, no lessons, no previous experience, just your best smile! Oh eventually we will need to find you a partner (if you donβt have one), and that could be anyone!
