Grounding & Alignment- In this workshop, we return to your foundation. The focus is on coming home to your body, grounding, allowing sensations to flow, and welcoming feelings. We work with breathwork, meditation, yoga, and grounding movements to start the new day fully present.

ZOUK dance- Zouk is a dance in which you can meet yourself and the other, in a different way than everyday life often invites us to. A dance in which you can experience connection, your body can begin to take charge, bringing you to a new experience that arises between each other and within yourself. We will introduce you to the basics of Zouk and stimulate you to add your own inner movements. You’ll learn the rhythm, basic steps, and create connection, as well as some fun movements that will quickly immerse you in the magical experience of Zouk. When you allow your body time to internalize the movements, you can go beyond the given structure and framework to experience even more freedom and possibilities.

About ZOUK- Zouk is a dance that originated in Brazil. It evolved from Lambada, influenced by many different dance styles. Today, there are several Zouk variations, such as lambazouk, neozouk, and contemporary zouk. Zouk is a sensual and graceful dance that offers plenty of room for creativity and emotion, ultimately allowing you to surrender to the experience.
