Since 2019, she’s been an integral part of PD London, teaching, leading, and following. Laura has shared her Forró expertise in cities across the UK and Germany, as well as at festivals like Forró D’Ouro and Baião in Lisboa. With a dance background in flamenco and even Brazilian twerk (a.k.a. funk), Laura’s energy is contagious!
