Check out the timetable to Zurich on www.sbb.ch and check the prices at your local train station. Sometimes, they really have good promotion tickets to Zurich. It's worth to check. -By car: Since Zurich is geographically in the middle of Europe, you might consider travelling by car. This option can be very cheap if you share the costs for the gasoline with your Zouk-buddies. Also check car sharing options on www.mitfahrgelegenheit.de This is actually the cheapest way to travel, if you are planning to come alone. The website is in German. -By plane: The airport of Zurich is called 'Zurich Flughafen Kloten', which is really close to the city center and easily reached by train in a 15 minutes-ride. The airport in Basel, the so called 'EuroAirport', has cheap flights by easyjet. It takes you around 1.5 hours to travel to Zurich by train and costs around CHF 20.- one way. You can check the available flight for example on: www.skyscanner.net www.edreams.ch ***************** ...how to get around in Zurich? All locations are in the city center of Zurich, close to the lake or the night life district.

Zouk, which means party, is a style of music and a dance originating from the Caribbean Islands. The Brazilians used the Zouk rhythm to develop their own dance, Brazilian Zouk, which has its roots in lambada, with movements adapted to the rhythm and tempo of the zouk music. Many of the existing movements would be practically impossible to perform to the much faster lambada music. Brazilian zouk is a beautiful couple dance with sensuality, rhythm and passion. The dance is characterized by fluent motion, where couples harmoniously move as one. Zouk is danced to many different types of music, such as zouk, kizomba, r & b and pop. ************* www.zurichzoukcongress.com www.krizouk.ch
