Brazilian Zouk Drop-in Classes & Practica

Come out and try Brazilian Zouk for the first time or improve your Brazilian Zouk skills! Our Monday classes offer options for those new to this dance and for those with more experience. Each class includes that night's practica where you can practice with other students and our instructors. WHAT: Brazilian Zouk Lessons Welcome to Brazilian Zouk (7:15-8:15pm) w/ Emilia & Krystal Learn some of the basic steps and lead/follow technique for Brazilian Zouk - no experience or partner necessary. This beginner-friendly class will get you dancing right away whether you're new to social dance or you've been dancing for awhile. Drop-ins are welcome any week, but we start a new cycle on the first Monday of every month and cover a set of fundamentals each month. Solo Footwork & Body Movements (7:15-8:15pm) w/ Lunna Join us for a study of solo technique and body movement designed to expand your possibilities in Brazilian Zouk. Drawing from ballet, contemporary, and urban dance techniques, we’ll explore body awareness, coordination, control, fluidity, and different movement qualities. Through exercises and movement exploration, we’ll develop a deeper understanding of how we use our bodies and how these skills can translate into Brazilian Zouk. We’ll dance solo to build confidence, versatility, and freedom of movement—bringing more awareness and expression into our partner dancing. Fundamentals Variations (8:30-9:30pm) w/ Lunna & Gabi Develop your dance by learning variations of fundamentals. This partner class for people who are comfortable with Brazilian zouk basics will help you take your dancing to the next level. We'll focus on lead/follow technique as well as fun variations you can use in your social dancing. Practica (9:30-11 am) Practice what you've learned in a safe environment - lights on, and you're free to ask questions of each other and instructors.
