You will learn or review the foundational stepping patterns such as basic step, viradinha, lateral, simple turn, soltinho, abertura, bonus/boomerang, elastico/raul, yo-yo and common variations, as well as be introduced to body movements. You’ll learn how to be more confident and how to lead/follow comfortably and musically to have a great social dance experience.

• You are new to Zouk/have less than 6 months of Zouk experience
• You haven’t had the chance to follow a progressive beginner’s course yet, and want to go through/review all the foundations

You’ve already passed through the beginner modules at your local dance school, or taken enough private classes to be comfortable with all the basics listed in the Fundamentals track above. You’ve got the basic stepping patterns down, can stay consistently in the beat, and can have a comfortable dance in a social setting with a partner. You’re now ready for more challenges! In this course, the focus will be on expanding your Zouk horizon beyond the fundamentals – working more on connection, musicality and creativity, all while solidifying all the things you already know.

Competition Track 

This track is for those who wish to work on improving both their social dance and the aesthetics of their dance. We’ll start by guiding you through the rules and concepts for Jack & Jills (aimed towards competition in official BZDC competitions), and then work on cleaning your 3 T’s – technique, timing and teamwork, as well as teaching you some useful movements to impress and add level to your dance in a Jack & Jill. You are not required to participate in any BZDC competition in order to join, but the training will be aimed towards this type of competition.

You can apply to this track without any video. No previous lambada experience is required. This track will not teach you traditional Zouk.

Beyond Lambada Fundamentals

In this course, the focus will be on expanding your Lambada horizon beyond the fundamentals – working more on connection, musicality and creativity, all while solidifying all the things you already know.

Teacher Training

For those interested in teaching, this course is for you. Learn vital tools for teaching, and get hands-on experience. We recommend a thorough understanding of Zouk, but any level can join the training as we will focus on teaching skills rather than dancing skills.

This program is designed to give you concrete, hand-on tools to improve your teaching, whether you are new to teaching or have been teaching for years. Teaching involves much more than teaching some moves, and you will learn – among other things – about how to structure and organize a class and workshop, build your curriculum, teach at different levels, adapt to different cultures and learning styles, and you will be given tools to help make your teaching as clear and coherent as possible. You will learn about posture, alignment and injury prevention, community building, dance etiquette and the responsibilities that come with being a teacher.

This track is great for you, if: 

• You would like to start teaching classes or workshops in Brazilian Zouk and would like some help on how to start
• You already teach Zouk and are looking to improve your classes to retain more students and grow your scene
• You aspire to teach zouk locally or as a traveling artist

To join, you must submit an application by email to zoukmx@zouk.us describing your motivation for joining the teacher training course, and what you hope to get out of it. Note that the teacher training track included both daytime and evening hours and is as such more demanding than the other tracks, and not remote-work friendly. You do not need to submit a video.

To apply to the program please start the process by selecting the application below, then you can also leave a deposit to secure your spot. If for some reason your application is not accepted you will receive a full refund on your deposit.
