Tiago & Emilia’s teaching is known for its clarity, depth, and playfulness. Their approach builds from strong foundations into complex structures, making even challenging movements feel clear and achievable.

 

Core elements of their technique:

• Foundation first: they emphasize mastering the basics before layering difficulty, ensuring every dancer can grow at their own pace.

• Solo & partner work: solo drills help dancers understand Zouk’s structure independently, while partner work builds empathy and adaptability for both roles.

• Body preparation: with Tiago’s background in fitness and sport science, and Emilia’s experience in personal training, their classes always include training for strength, balance, and flexibility to support safe and expressive movement.

• Musicality & expression: beyond steps and patterns, they show how to connect movements with music and add personal styling.

• Connection & presence: they foster a teaching environment that is both cozy and challenging, helping dancers feel safe while pushing their limits.

Together, Tiago & Emilia combine precision, presence, and play to help every dancer unlock their potential, refine their technique, and experience Brazilian Zouk as both art and joyful connection.
