Brazilian Zouk is currently one of the fastest growing styles in the social dance scene. Often referred to as a “three-dimensional dance”, it not only involves travel across the floor but also unique body isolations and head movements. Because of its foundation of connection and breath, those who have experienced this beautiful dance often say it feels like no other social dance, producing a heightened state of awareness similar to meditation. Neo Zouk is danced on a slow-quick-quick rhythm similar to Salsa On2 and can be soft and sensual or fast and energetic, depending on the music and dancers. In this class you will explore the core foundations of Neo Zouk and understand how to build upon these movements with a focus on connection awareness, lead and follower sensitivity, musicality, and breath. Many of these concepts and movements can enhance and be applied to many types of social dance, particularly in the popular Bachata Sensual style that incorporates many Brazilian Zouk elements. Come experience why so many are falling in love with the fluidity and connection of Zouk!
