Interfusion Festival X (IFX)

In this class, we’ll explore a few basics, with a twist! While Brazilian Zouk is primarily a partner dance, it’s not uncommon to see three, four, or as many as 50 people all dancing together, leading and following across the dance floor!  The first time I saw a lead with two follows, I was transfixed.  And when I first tried to do it on my own, the challenge actually helped me improve my one-on-one leading because I was more aware of both sides of my body!
We will explore a few basic moves, with one lead and two follows.  All participants will learn how to play all three roles.  If things move quickly with the class, we may explore movements with two leads and one follow!

🌶️ Mild: The workshop does not invite sensuality or sexuality. There will be no facilitator invitations to cuddle or share moving touch, plus no welcoming or invoking of sexual energy. Any partner dancing that occurs will default to or center open position.

This progressive workshop series will give you the tools you need to start your journey in Brazilian Zouk. Learn the fundamentals, understand a bit of our history and etiquette, and be prepared to step into a brand new world of limitless possibilities in shared, expressive dance.  

🌶️ 🌶️ Medium: The workshop invites sensuality, moving touch, cuddles, or extended close physical contact with others, but does NOT invite sexuality or nudity.

This class is centered around exploring the movements that hug around your Brazilian Zouk fundamentals. Movements between ‘moves’ is in some ways the most important part of our dance. 
We will work on raising more awareness of your upper body in a passive continuous flow with our partner. We will integrate expressions of the chest and head motions to enhance your own flow.
