Description
Learn all the basic fundamental step patterns of the beautiful Brazilian Zouk dance. We'll cover all the core step patterns that make up this dance such as Passo Basico, Side Basic, Lateral, Lunge, Viradinha, Simple Spins and Simple Turns. You'll learn more than just step patterns as we talk about social dance concepts and techniques that make this dance move and flow elegantly. Learn how to use your feet and your body, hold your frame up and connect to your partner.
Course Structure
Dance 4 Life courses work on a progressive basis to develop your dancing over the duration of the course. Sequences and patterns are learned, and revised the following week, with more technical detail being given in regards to leading, following and improving your social dance technique. We'll cover different entries and exits to add more variation to your dancing. We allow plenty of time to practice the patterns with other students. At the end of the 8-week block, we revise all the material from the course.
Group Class Size
Group class size will be capped at 20 people.
