We are back again! Energia!


Thanks to the passion and energy we have received from our students in our previous Lambada course, we have decided to continue for another month. We are moving on with the curriculum and adding more of the core moves and techniques from this electric and fun dance, what are you waiting for? Join our Lambadeiros

HOW IS THIS GOING TO WORK?

Alisson and Hermela will guide you through the most important principles to help Brazilian Zouk dancers (or not) learn the Lambada foundations. During part of the class time, we will show and break down the principles for each role, executing them without being physically connected with each other, so you can clearly see the mechanics of everything. In between breakdowns, we will get together in partners to show how the principles are applied with actual leading and following after the solo exercises are completed.

WHY SHOULD I JOIN THIS CLASS ?

Lambada is energetic, passionate, fun, aesthetically beautiful, and most importantly for our community, it is the ‘Parent’ of Brazilian Zouk. 


At District Zouk, we believe that it is essential to learn the fundamentals and history of what we teach. There are so many elements in Lambada that represent Brazilian zouk’s music and dance history, and exploring them helps expand our possibilities both in dancing Lambada and Brazilian Zouk.


We believe that in the future most Brazilian Zouk dancers will also know Lambada, and will be able to change dance styles as the music changes in the parties. If you don’t know what we are talking about, you should definitely do this course

DO I NEED A PARTNER, OR CAN I JOIN ALONE ?

This course is designed to give equal focus on both roles, feet and body work by showing and executing them separately before getting into partner-work. Lambada itself is a dance that can be danced ‘Wi-Fi’ for a big part of it since the beginning of anyways :) 


The way this course is structured allows for those who don’t have a partner to benefit as much as those who have a partner, since we will spend equal time in the solo execution of the principles for each role. If you dance on both roles, you will even have time to try the other role’s part, once you figure yours out.


We are excited to offer an option of partner-work class for those who don’t have a partner. And we are positive that if that is your case, you will benefit from i

Senior Assistant Hermela Alemayehu

Hermela started her partner dance journey in 2016 when she got some friends together to go out salsa dancing. She immediately caught the bug and before she knew it, she found herself learning salsa and bachata and dancing the nights away. Hermela later found Brazilian Zouk in 2017 and fell in love with the connection and fluidity of movement. She immersed herself fully in this style, learning from District Zouk and other local and international instructors. She has attended various festivals and participated in training courses. She is looking forward to sharing her passion and enthusiasm with others.
