Before your first step

A few useful answers.

Choose a format, check the details, then confirm your next step with Gab.

I’m new to Zouk. Where should I start?

Tuesday Zouk is intermediate+. If you are new to Zouk or partner dancing, tell Gab about your experience before choosing a class. He can help you explore Lambada or individual training.

How do I arrange my first session?

Explore the class schedule or private training options, then contact Gab with your experience and preferred dates. Confirm the format, location, availability and payment arrangements before attending. An inquiry does not reserve a place.

Is mentorship the same as a class membership?

They are separate programs. Tuesday memberships cover Tuesday Zouk classes. Monthly mentorship combines individual coaching, Kinesthetic Practice, Sunday group training and your member learning space. Admission is selective, with a limit of 30 students to keep the experience personal.
