Monday Drop-in Classes and Practica

Every Monday, all Mondays, on Mondays.

Come out and try Brazilian Zouk for the first time or improve your Brazilian Zouk skills! 

Our Monday classes offer options for those new to this dance and for those with more experience. Each class includes that night's practica where you can practice with other students and our instructors.

Welcome to Brazilian Zouk (7:15-8:15pm) 

Learn some of the basic steps and lead/follow technique for Brazilian Zouk - no experience or partner necessary. This beginner-friendly class will get you dancing right away whether you're new to social dance or you've been dancing for awhile. Drop-ins are welcome any week, but we start a new cycle on the first Monday of every month and cover a set of fundamentals each month.

Brazilian Zouk Solo Flow (7:15-8:15pm)


Immerse yourself in the vibrant rhythms of Brazilian Zouk! In this dynamic solo class, you'll learn the flow of this beautiful dance, blending technique, fun, and cultural connection. Discover the beauty of Brazilian movement, improve your body awareness, and unleash your expression.

•⁠  ⁠Develop fluid movement and technique

•⁠  ⁠No partner required – just you and the beat!

All levels welcome! Come flow, groove, and connect with the music and yourself. 😊

Fundamentals Variations (8:30-9:30pm) 

Develop your dance by learning variations of fundamentals. This partner class for people who are comfortable with Brazilian zouk basics will help you take your dancing to the next level. We'll focus on lead/follow technique as well as fun variations you can use in your social dancing.

Practica (9:30-11pm)
Practice what you've learned in a safe environment - lights on, and you're free to ask questions of each other and instructors. 

The practica is included with each of the drop-in classes, or you can come just for the practica.

The teachers for the Monday classes rotate each week from our District Zouk team.
