Zouk Spotlight Series – Monthly Themes (Sept: Spins / Oct: Embrace) – Chalk Farm

Introducing the brand new concept of The ‘Zouk Spotlight Series’

The Spotlight Series is designed to immerse you in one topic for longer.

Each month is an immersive deep dive into a single core topic. During most other classes, you might get one or two sessions only on a subject or theme that needs more time! It’s one thing to just learn a movement or a pattern, but to pratise, to integrate, to have time to listen and build it into our muscle memories… takes time!

This new structure ensures not only a comprehensive understanding but also plenty of time for dedicated practice. This means you get to learn more, practice more, and finally see big leaps and progress like never before.

September Spins

 Kickstarting our Zouk Spotlight Series is a month dedicated entirely to the art of spins.

From simple turns, grounding, spin technique, breathing, multiple turns, tilts, tilted turns, one foot spins, balance… and well.. much much more! 

October Embrace

 If you do any course at UKDC, let it be this one.

Brazilian Zouk isn’t just about movement – it’s about feeling. It’s a dance that embodies beauty and uniqueness in every step. From its sensuality to its closeness, Zouk weaves a mesmerising tale that you won’t find anywhere else. And at the heart of it all lies the embrace – seemingly simple, yet profoundly intricate and even a touch intimidating.

Have you ever let yourself be carried by the music, wrapped in the embrace for several songs in a row? If not, you’re missing out on a world of connection, intimacy, and growth.

If you have a comfortable embrace you have won the Zouk lottery.

 This October it’s time to immerse yourself in the subtleties of body language, the interplay of tension and release, the raw power of shared emotion, and the rhythm of synchronised breathing.

Discover the secrets of creating a profound connection with your partner – In the embrace, two dancers become one story, one expression, one emotion.

This month will transform your dancing, guaranteed.
