Brazilian zouk is a partner dance from Brazil characterized by flowy, circular movements. The beginner classes will cover the foundations of the dance, including basic steps, timing, and connection. Brazilian zouk derived from Brazilian lambada. Following the lambada craze, people began dancing lambada steps to slower paced music from the French Caribbean called zouk. Thus, Brazilian zouk was born! The dance continues to evolve today and can be danced to a variety of music.
Students can expect to learn the basic steps of Brazilian zouk as well as timing. Class can be a standalone, or a series of beginner classes if there is interest in a 4-week series.
Comfortable clothing and comfortable shoes (i.e., able to pivot in them!) recommended for attendees.
