🌟 ZOUK ATOMS 2-DAYS INTENSIVE WORKSHOP 🌟

We are excited to invite you to the Zouk Atoms Intensive Workshop! A 2-day event that dives deep into the heart of Zouk dancing. Join Olga and Fernando for an immersive experience where you will explore innovative techniques, improve your footwork, headwork, and master the art of leading and following. Whether you're an advanced dancer or just starting out, this workshop will elevate your Zouk skills to new heights. 𝐖𝐎𝐑𝐊𝐒𝐇𝐎𝐏 𝐃𝐄𝐓𝐀𝐈𝐋𝐒 Day 1 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝟏 - 𝐅𝐨𝐨𝐭𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤 - 𝐄𝐱𝐞𝐫𝐜𝐢𝐬𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝟒 𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐦𝐬 Description: Using four different footwork patterns we will learn how to dance them in new and creative ways, learning the vocabulary and the grammar of the Zouk Atoms. 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝟐 - 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤 - 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐫𝐚𝐦𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐨𝐭𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐦𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬. Description: Probably one of the biggest challenges of leading and following head movements is to understand that the same frame is leading both, the footwork and the headwork. In this workshop we will go deeper into this idea. Day 2 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝟏 - 𝐍𝐞𝐰 𝐀𝐭𝐨𝐦𝐬 - 𝐌𝐞𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐢𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐥 Description: The Zouk Atoms open a new understanding of the zouk basics with a lot of interesting possibilities. We will take a look at it, using the concept of contra body movement and the “Inverted lateral“ as examples. 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝟐 - 𝐈𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐦𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 Description: The Zouk Atoms follow the philosophy that we can add head movements on the top of any footwork and do this in very different ways. After learning the „inverted lateral“ it’s time to dance it with head movements. 𝐀𝐁𝐎𝐔𝐓 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐙𝐎𝐔𝐊 𝐀𝐓𝐎𝐌𝐒 𝐓𝐄𝐂𝐇𝐍𝐈𝐐𝐔𝐄 The Zouk Atoms Technique is a fusion of four essential elements: Footwork and the structure of the Zouk Atoms. A Zouk Atom is a basic footwork pattern of three steps for the follower. The structure of the Zouk Atoms shows us which are the different basic patterns that we can dance and how to combine them fluently. Headwork. The technique for the headwork allows us to dance head movements on the top of any footwork. Leading Technique. The Leading Technique has a strong focus on the idea of invitation: How the leader invites the hips (footwork) and the chest (headwork) of the follower in order to create new movements. Follower Technique. The Follower Technique is based on the idea of “Universal follower“, a follower that knows how to keep the full body connected and can go in any direction.
