He is also the creator of ZenZouk, a method of teaching Brazilian Zouk-Lambada and overall body movement through multiple exercises and philosophies based on the “elements," including earth, water, fire, and air- as symbols for analyzing dance and personal movement. Ry’el’s main aim is to educate and cultivate the appreciation for each one of these different styles of Brazilian Zouk-Lambada , building a strong foundation of versatility by embracing evolution through the classic techniques found in the origins of our dance (Lambada).​ His rich formal dance training in classical ballet, jazz, World Jazz, modern dance, international Latin, and social dances like Salsa, Bachata, cha-cha and different Brazilian Zouk styles enables him to understand, share & create flavorful and fluid organic movement in each of his works as well as in his teachings. His expressive sensuality and trained eye for technique through his Body and mind connections and philosophies makes for a unique and unforgettable class experience.
