    Val & Vanessa launch a new Zouk program called “Suave”. Alongside their Zouk Needs You program, they are building a new one for 2020! It is a zouk program, but focused on sensations. All work is zouk focused, however, there will be a priority on sensations. You will learn positions and angles, however, there will be a focus on tension/relaxation. How much should you embrace or relax? As you may know, in Rio, Zouk is danced much closer than other parts of the world. An understanding of a deeper embrace and how you should touch and connect so there is a more comfortable experience for those zouking. What is the function of your hands and sensations during a spin?

    In summary, the course will not be focused on how something looks, rather how it feels.

    Topics covered;

    • Exploring the embrace

    • How to relax your body

    • How to work your energy level

    • Exploring your space and footwork

    • Body motion and head movements (focused on sensation)

    • How to dance to slower zouk music

    • How to dance “suave” to faster zouk music

    The course will launch at the ZoukMX Retreat happening February 14-21 in Playa Del Carmen and Tulum! The location is epic and you can escape the cold if you are in the USA or Canada and join them on the beach.
