That which might make zouk harder to define is it’s ever evolving nature and diversity in music and styles. Brazilian zouk is highly compatible with other dances, like contact improvisation, bachata (bachata sensual), kizomba, tango, contemporary and so on. Zouk can be danced without partners actually touching, or in a close embrace and leaves a lot of room for interpertation and improvisation. All of these elements combine into a dance with freedom, connection and spontaneity. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MAwa5hmya_k ____________________________________________________ - TRANSPORTATION - Public transport: From Amsterdam Central station take tram 26 to Kattenburgerstraat (2 stops/4min) or walk (25min).
