We're excited to celebrate our first holiday season at The Waterfront Vancouver!
The evening will feature holiday shopping, wine tasting with a local winery, and a festive atmosphere to kick off the season.
This will be a special night for all dance lovers!
Come at 8PM and get a Forró Dance class!
Josephina Del Norte: The Argentinian DJ, singer and multi-instrumentalist Josefina Del Norte will start the night playing a mix of Latin American Cumbia and Forró music from Brazil.
Forró Beleza: Led by Pyata Penedo, a Brazilian lead singer, composer, multi-instrumentalist, and owner of Figure 8 Sound Recording Studio, the band performs a variety of music from Northeastern Brazil known as forró.
Forró is a lively Brazilian music and partner-dance tradition rooted in Northeastern Brazil, where it developed through community gatherings centered around music, dancing, and social connection. Popularized nationally by legendary artists such as Luiz Gonzaga, its distinctive sound is traditionally created by the accordion, zabumba drum, and triangle, producing rhythms that feel both grounded and flowing.
The dance brings people together through a warm embrace, shared movement, playful turns, and a close connection to the music. Although it may remind newcomers of the intimacy of tango, the energy of salsa, or the grounded feeling of blues, forró has a joyful and welcoming character entirely its own.
More than simply a style of music or dance, forró is a celebration of Brazilian culture and community—and the best way to understand it is to come experience it for yourself!
Mango Twist is a musical collective playing tropical Latin music for that summer breeze feeling! ?
Our intimate venue transforms into a vibrant dance floor filled with high-energy music, good drinks, and welcoming vibes. Whether you’re a seasoned dancer or just coming to move and have fun, everyone is invited to join the party! ??
**Atlantis Lounge is All Ages until 9:00 PM, at that time any minors will be asked to leave the space. Thanks for your understanding!
