Service Description

Zouk technique focussed on upper body and head movement flows, structures and connecting patterns. A requirement of this course is that you have attended at least one Zouk Beginner course before in our school or others. This course explores upper body and head movements as organic expressions of flow, spiral, and orientation in space. The course moves from clarity and safety, to creativity and fluidity. At the end of the course you will have an entirely new repertoire of upper body zouk concepts - that you can also integrate into other partner dance styles. Week 1 – Linear movements + foundation technique • Build a safe foundation with posture, axis, and variations of waves. Week 2 – Circular flow • Learn the mechanics of entering, exiting and continuing circular flows. Week 3 – Contra-directional rotations • Learn the mechanics of contra-directional rotations. Week 4 – Co-directional rotations • Learn the mechanics of contra-directional rotations. Week 5 – Tilted Turns • Discover tilted turns that bring dimension and elegance. Week 6 – Combinations of Contra + Co-direction flow • Play with the individual building blocks of circular flows to build your own fluid sequences. Week 7 – Variations / Practice / Questions • Changes in the dynamics, orientation or position to create entirely new visual and somatic experiences. Questions, and guided practice time to refine and deepen underdtanding and technique.
