Brazilian Zouk is a partner dance that originated in Brazil in the early 1990s. It's known for its smooth, flowing movements, body isolations, and strong connection between partners. The dance evolved from Lambada, a fast-paced dance that was popular in Brazil in the 1980s, but Brazilian Zouk adopted a slower, more sensual style set to different types of music.
*Key Features:
--Connection & Flow: Emphasis on a strong connection between partners and continuous movement.
--Body Isolations: Movements often isolate different parts of the body, like chest rolls, hip circles, and undulations.
--Elasticity & Musicality: Dancers play with timing and stretch movements to interpret the music expressively.

Ry’el is a performer, choreographer, instructor, and dance coach. He is also the creator of ZenZouk, a method of teaching Brazilian Zouk-Lambada and overall body movement through multiple exercises and philosophies based on the “elements," including earth, water, fire, and air- as symbols for analyzing dance and personal movement. Ry’el’s main aim is to educate and cultivate the appreciation for each one of these different styles of Brazilian Zouk-Lambada , building a strong foundation of versatility by embracing evolution through the classic techniques found in the origins of our dance (Lambada). His rich formal dance training in classical ballet, jazz, World Jazz, modern dance, international Latin, and social dances like Salsa, Bachata, cha-cha and different Brazilian Zouk styles enables him to understand, share & create flavorful and fluid organic movement in each of his works as well as in his teachings. His expressive sensuality and trained eye for technique through his Body and mind connections and philosophies makes for a unique and unforgettable class experience.
