INFO

ABOUT THE ZOUK ATOMS TECHNIQUE

The Zouk Atoms Technique is a combination of four different techniques:

 

  1. Footwork and the structure of the Zouk Atoms. A Zouk Atom is a basic footwork pattern of three steps for the follower. The structure of the Zouk Atoms shows us which are the different basic patterns that we can dance and how to combine them fluently.

  2. Headwork. The technique for the headwork allows us to dance head movements on the top of any footwork.

  3. Leading Technique: The Leading Technique has a strong focus on the idea of invitation: How the leader invites the hips (footwork) and the chest (headwork) of the follower in order to create new movements.

  4. Follower Technique: The Follower Technique is based on the idea of „universal follower“, a follower that knows how to keep the full body connected and can go in any direction.

Check out this example on YouTube of the first ideas to understand the Zouk Atoms.
