Washington DC Zouk Calendar

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

Level 1 (7:15-8:15pm) Fundamentals
Learn the fundamental steps, movements and lead/follow technique in zouk. No experience or partner necessary. Drop-ins are welcome any week, but we start a new cycle on the first Monday of every month and cover a full cycle of fundamentals each month.

Solo Technique & Drills (7:15-8:15pm)

Practicing and dancing solo is an incredible way to improve several aspects of your dance. In this class, we will explore and drill topics that make your balance more consistent, your footwork more solid, your posture more graceful, and your moves more fluid and flowy in Brazilian Zouk.

Topics include: Weight Transfers, Torsion, Balance, Turns and Axis, and other related side topics. These techniques are underrated but highly appreciated when invisibly present in the yummiest of the dancers around.

Level 2 (8:30-9:30pm) Technique & Variations
Aimed at people who have learned the basics and want to take their dancing to the next level, we will focus on lead/follow technique as well as more complex movements and patterns.

Practica (9:30-11 am)
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 attendance at either drop-in class, or you can come just for the practica.

The teachers for the Level 1 and Level 2 Monday classes rotate each week from our District Zouk team

Join us for a J&J to take us back to the true purpose of J&J: fun, and a chance to show off your ever- evolving skills!
This J&J is a low-to-no-pressure event. Each contestant’s J&J registration fee goes into a pool, and the winning couple takes all of it home! In each round of the J&J, contestants will be paired with a random partner and will draw a “challenge” and have to showcase this challenge during the song. For example, can you Zouk to a rock song? Can you dance to the lyrics, and not the zouk beat? Could you dance in WiFi for a whole song? What about with just one hand?

Judges will eliminate one couple at the end of each song, and the last couple standing WINs$$$$$. Come find out how adaptable you are, and share in some laughs this J&J is SURE to bring about.

Location: Ballroom Annex next to The International House of Prayer in DC at 1915 Rhode Island Ave NE, 20017. There is a parking lot for us to use next door at The International House of Prayer
