Brazilian Zouk Level 1a

Service Description

At the House of Zoukies our classes are divided into "Levels" to help create the best learning environment for dancers with different skills and experience of Brazilian Zouk. In class we always rotate partners, take breaks and combine the structures of Brazilian Zouk with the Embodiment Dance principles of presence, mindfulness and partnership connection. Here is the layout of our Level 1 course: Level 1a: is the first and most important course in Brazilian Zouk. You will learn three steps alongside the underlying rhythm of the dance that will give you the foundations for everything to follow. All of our students start here. Level 1b: adds new fundamental step to your repertoire of moves alongside an important technique known as twisting. After completing Level 1b you are well on your way to flying around the dance floor. Level 1c: adds the last set of key steps to your knowledge of Brazilian Zouk alongside another important technique of preparing the hips to be turned. From this point forwards there are really no new steps to learn, only variations and flows that combine the upper body. Level 1d: this course is an introduction to the upper body flows and techniques of Brazilian Zouk, you'll learn how to move your spine and neck so that you are safe, protected and balanced. At this point in your journey of learning Zouk it becomes so exciting there is no way back! After completing all of our Level 1 courses you will be invited to begin Level 2. Good luck!!
