Workshops that teach more than a sequence.
Bring Brazilian Zouk or Lambada to your festival, school or local community. Build a workshop around your dancers’ level, with clear explanations, guided practice and ideas they can use on the social floor.

Teaching designed around what dancers should retain.
Clear pedagogy
Concepts are organized so dancers understand what creates the movement, not only what shape to reproduce.
Useful beyond the workshop
Exercises are designed to survive beyond the workshop and transfer into social dancing with different partners.
Adaptable level
Material can be shaped for developing dancers, experienced social dancers, competitors or mixed-level festival groups.
Topics can be built around the needs of the event.
Movement Architecture
How movements are built, connected and transformed.
Connection & Communication
How information travels through the partnership.
Timing & Rhythm
Using timing as a movement tool in Zouk and Lambada.
Social-Dance Adaptability
Decision-making, variation and partner adaptation.
Focused Technique Practice
Change one part of an exercise to explore timing, balance or connection more clearly.
Lambada Pathways

Single workshop or progressive curriculum.
Workshops can be designed as one class, a multi-class festival track, an intensive or a complete weekender curriculum.
