Weekenders & Festivals
Join us with International Artist Weekenders in Melbourne, or travel with us to Festivals around Australia & beyond.
Zouk weekenders and festivals are amazing opportunities to learn, dance, and connect. Weekenders are local, 2–3 day events with guest artists (usually 1-2 couples), workshops, and socials—perfect for levelling up right here in Melbourne.
Festivals are larger multi-day events held across Australia and beyond, packed with workshops, parties, comps and performances. Steve & Izzy regularly teach & perform at festivals around the country. They are often joined by Rhi (teaching) Adam (DJ Minsk) and the DanceIM crew.
Join us! Join the DanceIM crew locally and on the road to grow your Zouk and be part of the journey!
Gilson & Jessica Weekender in Melbourne: October 24th-27th
Join us for workshops, parties and more with Gilson, partnered up with the beautiful Jessica Serrano (Brazil). We have offerings for beginners to advanced dancers.
Gilson Damasco is one of the original pioneers of LambaZouk—he helped shape the dance as we know it today. With 35+ years of global teaching and performing, he brings unmatched experience, musicality, and soul to every class.
We're giving you the chance to train with him—take it. He’s not just a master dancer; he’s a living chapter of Brazilian dance history. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced dancer, learning from him will be a unique and unforgettable experience.
