About
Zouk
Zouk on a social floor means Brazilian zouk: a flowing partner dance that grew out of Lambada, danced to a slow-quick-quick rhythm with led head and body movement. It is named after Caribbean zouk music but is its own Brazilian dance, distinct from the French-Antillean genre.
Sub-styles you'll meet
- Brazilian zouk
- Modern, flowing, with led head movement and traveling turns — the default at a zouk social.
- Lambazouk
- Closer to the original Lambada: faster, bouncier, with spins and a more compact frame.
