Mondays : Connection Lab & Practica

Connection Lab
The Connection Lab is designed for dancers who want to explore and deepen their partner connection and improvisational skills. These classes are suitable for all levels and complement your Fundamentals practice. You’ll explore:

  • Advanced lead/follow sensitivity and responsiveness

  • Dynamic connection exercises to enhance communication with your partner

  • Musical interpretation and creative expression

  • Flow techniques to move seamlessly through patterns and improvisation

Connection Lab is all about feeling the dance rather than memorizing steps. It’s where technique meets expression, allowing you to dance with more fluidity, awareness, and joy.

Wednesdays : Fundamentals & Practica

Fundamentals Classes
Our Fundamentals classes focus on building a strong foundation in Brazilian Zouk. These classes are perfect for beginners and intermediate dancers who want to solidify their technique. You’ll learn:

  • Core body mechanics and posture

  • Basic steps, turns, and patterns

  • Timing, rhythm, and musicality

  • Safe and effective lead/follow techniques

Think of Fundamentals as the building blocks of your dance: mastering these elements will give you confidence and control in your dancing.

In addition to technical skills, Fundamentals classes help you:

  • Develop body awareness and alignment to move more effortlessly

  • Build consistency and fluidity in your movements

  • Gain the confidence to dance with a variety of partners

  • Establish a strong base for exploring more advanced patterns and connection techniques

Whether you’re just starting out or looking to refine your foundation, Fundamentals classes ensure that you have the skills and confidence to express yourself fully on the dance floor.

Fridays : Open Level Class & Social

Friday Open Level Class
Our Friday Open Level class is designed for dancers of all experience levels. This class blends elements of Fundamentals and Connection Lab, offering both technical refinement and creative exploration. You’ll have the opportunity to:

  • Practice a mix of steps, patterns, and turns at your own pace

  • Explore partner connection and improvisation techniques

  • Work on musicality, timing, and styling

  • Receive individualized guidance to challenge your growth

Open Level is perfect for dancers who want a dynamic, engaging class that adapts to everyone’s skill level, providing space to experiment, play, and deepen your dance experience.

Friday Social Dance
After class, join us for our Friday Social Dance – a relaxed and welcoming environment to put your skills into practice! The social dance is all about connection, fun, and community:

  • Dance with dancers of all levels in a supportive atmosphere

  • Practice techniques and patterns learned during class

  • Explore improvisation, musicality, and personal expression

  • Meet and connect with fellow dancers in a friendly, inclusive space

Our Friday Social Dance is the perfect way to end the week by celebrating movement, connection, and the joy of Zouk.
