Flowstate Festival – Zouk & West Coast Swing – 8-10th Nov
"The Uk's first-ever Brazilian Zouk & West Coast Swing Festival"
Join us for Flow State, a unique and groundbreaking dance festival created in partnership with Easton Swing, Affinity Swing & UKDC – host at the UKDC HQ in Chalk Farm, North London. We’re thrilled to bring this vibrant celebration of dance to life, that combines West coast swing & Brazilian Zouk under one roof.
We focus on community; joining students, artists and organisers together through entertainment, laughter and our infectious passion for life.
Event Details
📅 Date: 8-10th November 2024 (Friday – Sunday)
📍 Location: UKDC, Haverstock School, 24 Haverstock Hill, London, NW3 2BQ
(2 mins walk from Chalk Farm station or 10 mins walk from Camden underground)
💃 Styles Taught: Brazilian Zouk & West Coast Swing
👥 Expected Attendance: 200-300 people (across both styles)
Highlights
🎉 2 Separate rooms for Parties (One for Zouk, One for West Coast Swing)
🏅 Newcomer-Advanced J&J Competitions for WCS (No Zouk Competitions)
🔰 Plenty of classes for both styles, from beginner to advanced
🌟 Invitational Jack & Jill Show
🧑🤝🧑 We even included some Solo Workshops (such as Yoga, Movement & More!)
🚀 Seperate Zouk & West Coast Swing Fast Track Sessions (for people to try the other style)
🌜 Late night Crossover party on Saturday til 3am
🤝 A united get together of UK teachers and organisers
... But what if I don't dance both styles? Or don't want to try the other style?
It really doesn’t matter! Everything is completely separated, so it’s basically two individual festivals under one roof. We just wanted to combine them together to create something bigger and better!
All the parties and classes will be separated, but we’ve added some extra solo classes where everyone can be together.
On Saturday night, after the Zouk party finishes around 1am, there will be a ‘mixed’ party until 3am – This is for those who enjoy a more chilled vibe that is perfect for both styles to dance to.
There will be a competition for West Coast Swing that Zouk people can watch and enjoy but obviously won’t be entering lol.
Additionally, we’re offering a 2 hour deep dive fast track for anyone who wants to test out the other style.
These are all just additional things you can add to your schedule but don’t need to!
