ABOUT THE INTENSIVE
Join our three-day intensive designed to create the kind of dances where you lose track of time and space. Using Brazilian Zouk as our shared language, we’ll explore how to move with ease, trust, and deep connection, blending structure and freedom so the dance feels alive and natural.
WHO IS THIS INTENSIVE FOR?
DAILY SCHEDULE
This intensive is for anyone who wants to:
-
Explore Brazilian Zouk as a framework for truly organic partner dancing.
-
Relax the body and find effortless movement.
-
Build comfort and sensitivity in close embrace.
-
Expand their sense of touch, texture, and creative connection.
Open level: all experience levels welcome.
DO I NEED EXPERIENCE?
No formal dance background is required. Curiosity, an open mind, and a willingness to move are all you need.
WHAT WILL YOU LEARN?
Across three days we layer technique, connection, and sensation:
-
Day 1 – Building the Body
Release tension, find real grounding, and stack the body for relaxed, natural movement. -
Day 2 – Finding the Flow
Discover how energy travels between partners. Practice giving and receiving weight, catching an impulse, and creating clarity, stability, and continuous motion. -
Day 3 – Building the Sensation
Body movement in close embrace, playful textures of touch, and the presence that makes Zouk feel delicious.
Throughout, we fold these ideas into Zouk’s structure so you gain vocabulary and the freedom to create in the moment.
-
10:00 – 12:00: first block
-
12:00 – 12:30: break
-
12:30 – 14:30: second block
(Total of 12 hours over 3 days. Timing may shift slightly depending on group flow.)
HOW IS THE INTENSIVE STRUCTURED
We move from technical preparation, to partnered flow, to pure sensation, each day building on the last. Zouk fundamentals give us a common structure, while guided improvisation opens space for personal expression.
WHAT WILL YOU WALK AWAY WITH
-
A body that moves with ease and confidence.
-
A shared Zouk vocabulary to connect with any partner.
-
Tools for creating dances that feel timeless and unforgettable.
WHAT SHOULD I BRING
Comfortable clothes, dance shoes or socks, water, and a notebook for notes or reflections.
A PERFECT START TO YOUR ZOUK MONTH
The Beginner Intensive is the kick-off of Zouk Month and a great way to prepare for the Zouk Island Festival (March 13–16, 2026). With a solid foundation in place, you’ll be ready to fully enjoy the festival and all the other events throughout the month.
ABOUT THE ART OF FLOW
The Art of Flow combines Brenda and William’s years of social-dance experience to help dancers cultivate relaxation, trust, and co-creation. Instead of teaching a long list of patterns, their approach focuses on how the dance feels, so every movement becomes natural, connected, and uniquely your own.
Their teaching is rooted in a balance of emotional depth and structural clarity. Brenda brings a soft, fluid, and body-conscious style, encouraging presence, ease, and authentic expression. William offers a grounded, analytical perspective shaped by his martial arts background and passion for movement mechanics. Together, they weave playfulness with precision, creating a space where dancers feel both safe and inspired to explore.
In this intensive you’ll experience:
-
A healthy approach to movement that values comfort, presence, and adaptability.
-
Tools to connect deeply through touch, weight, and subtle listening.
-
Practices that blend technique with sensation, so the dance becomes alive and effortless.
Brenda & William emphasize the power of simplicity, showing that it’s not about how much you do, but how intentionally you do it. Their work invites you to experience Zouk not only as a dance, but as a practice of presence, co-creation, and genuine human connection.
