Each course reinforces previous learning and builds on new techniques, moves and connection skills – so you’ll not only feel progress, but have fun doing it.
Our Brazilian Zouk Courses – How They Work
Each course runs for 5–6 weeks, with 1-hour weekly classes focused on new techniques, movement drills, and dance practice, from absolute beginners to advanced dancers, all with personalised feedback. We build on skills each week, with regular revision to help everything stick.
Our courses are designed to complement each other, and many dancers take two or more at once. The more you dance, the more you progress.
Each class includes:
-
Guided instruction with clear breakdowns
-
Technique and movement practice
-
Progressive skill-building

Time for dancing and feedback
We offer multiple course discounts if you’d like to do more than one course at a time.
