More Than a Dance Class

What is Zouk?

Brazilian Zouk is a partner dance that stems from the French Caribbean musical roots and became blended with Brazil's famous Lambada. Over the past decade it has taken North America by storm and has rapidly become one of the most influential and versatile dances in the world.

It's as if Tango, Salsa, West Coast Swing & Ecstatic Dance aligned to perfectly emerge one dance that is so incredibly versatile.
