ORGANIC MOVEMENT FOR ZOUK 

This 3.5-hour workshop blends two unique and exciting approaches to Brazilian Zouk with aim of making your movement in Zouk more organic. Rooted in the foundations of zouk and general movement, this workshop helps you understand the essential components of your movement in our dance—so you can become more technical, expressive, and ultimately more free. Greater understanding creates a greater container for our freedom.

Expect to explore:
•⁠  ⁠Tools for caring for your body
•⁠  ⁠Clear, informed mechanics
•⁠  ⁠Improving overall movement quality
•⁠  ⁠Concepts for a more fluid and organic dance
•⁠  ⁠Creative techniques to pleasantly surprise yourself and your partner
•⁠  ⁠Games and initiative exercises that simplistically tap into the essence of our dance.


SCHEDULE

3:00-4:30pm Pain-Free Body
Learn intuitive and practical tools to take care of your body, understand its mechanics, and move with more ease - both in daily life and as you dance. Drawing from multiple movement disciplines, this work teaches leads to move with care for their partner’s body and follows to support themselves in a way that enables relaxation and ease.

4:30-5:00pm Break

5:00-7:00pm Principle-Based or a more Organic Zouk 
We’ll then apply these movement principles directly into the dance, creating movement that feels more organic, fluid, creative, and connected. These techniques innately help us be less “in the head” and “more in the moment” as each motion unfolds.


Tickets for the afternoon workshop include the evening class, social and lambada practica, so you'll get a full afternoon and evening of dancing.

7:00pm - 8:15pm Lambada Practica 

8:15pm - 9:15pm Brazilian Zouk Class w/ Elena Rovito (Open Level)

ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR

Logan offers a unique approach to learning, training, and dancing Brazilian Zouk, drawing from generalist movement principles inspired by teachers such as Ido Portal, Tom Weksler, and many others.

He approaches Zouk holistically - as both a physical practice and a dance. Using playful yet precise games, explorations, and intuitive rehabilitative work to facilitate creating art through motion while also caring for the body in and outside of our dance.

By uncovering the more ‘essential principles of movement’ beneath Brazilian Zouk, Logan empowers creativity, quality of motion, and overall enjoyment of the dance. Cultivating a unique, organic, and principle-based style of dancing.
