Zouk extra class

I was at the practice party after taking only two classes and it was very enjoyable. The community was super welcoming. Zouk allows you to express so many different emotions, since the music is so very different. You get confident with bouncy r'n'b moves as well as sensual flowy elements like head movements or body rolls. Zouk is not as hard as it might look. Learn basic step and come to the party! You will always find someone there to practice your basic step with

I just found the style interesting-looking and I had some friends who were doing it. Zouk feels very satisfying to dance - the dynamics and tension feels very different from any other social dance. There's much more air, many pauses and dynamics changes that create an experience that is always new. You can never really get bored as soon as you get in the flow with someone. I would say my favorite thing is the flow and connection for sure. I like how the scene is small and family-like. Also I like that in Zouk it is considered polite to dance multiple dances in a row with one partner - it allows you to build connection. It definitely improved my balance and coordination with dancing Zouk

The rhythm of Zouk, which at first felt uncomfortable, quickly became my main dancing rhythm. I've started to feel and enjoy the dynamics of leading and following. The Zouk community in Estonia is quite small and might seem exclusive at first glance, but actually, people are very friendly and gladly welcome all beginners to the dance floor. Just a few classes are enough to reach a level where you can enjoyably spend time at socials.

I started with two courses at once and there was so much to learn even at the basic level - I discovered many new and fundamentally important things that are also relevant for other dance styles. When starting partner dancing, I would definitely recommend zouk because firstly, it gives you a strong technical foundation (also for other dances); secondly, zouk has a very friendly and supportive community, with whom it's great to start and discover together. Thirdly - and this might be the most important - zouk allows you to search for and find new ways to express yourself in dance, to do it together in a very special atmosphere.
