Brazilian
Zouk
Brazilian Zouk is a dance that originates from the tradition of Lambada in Brazil.
As Lambada became popular and spread to urban cities in southern parts of Brazil, the beat was mixed with traditional Zouk Caribbean music and slowed down to support new people learning the dance.
The traditional form of Lambada then combined with new basic steps to form Zouk, and is now danced in hundreds of cities around the world and has many more modern dance influences and interpretations.
At Zoukies we practice traditional structures of Brazilian Zouk combined with a more modern technique, awareness of connection, mindfulness and the biomechanics of movement and partner connection.
