THE EVENT
Our Intensive Week is your space to focus on growth, refine your dance and unlock new skills. Designed for your best learning experience, we hold space for you to dive deep into the study of your dance and bodywork, while providing you with nourishing food and a peaceful environment, so you can stay focused and energized through full days of training.
To balance the intensity, we leave space in the schedule for rest and recharging in the beautiful setting of our venue. Need a timeout? Walk in the park, sip coffee or tea at the bistro, or just breathe in the greenery and let your mind settle.
Our teachers, DJs, and team are carefully selected—not only for their artistic excellence, but also for their warmth, openness, and joy in connecting. They love to share, support, and grow with you, bringing their full heart, passion, and skill into this shared week.

ABOUT EVELYN & DERRICK
More than just learning steps, Evelyn and Derrick teach you how to express yourself through dance. They focus on musicality, creativity, and the emotions behind movement, helping you connect with your body and partner in a way that feels natural and deeply fulfilling.
Their teaching philosophy blends strong technical foundations with intuitive, heart-centered movement. You will learn how to execute movements with precision while also understanding how to surrender to the music and to your self-expression, creating a dance that feels effortless and authentic.
Evelyn and Derrick create a warm, welcoming space where every dancer, regardless of level, feels encouraged and inspired. They believe in nurturing each student’s unique style, helping them gain confidence, body awareness, and a true love for the art of dance.
A Fusion of Styles & Evolution of Zouk: With Derrick’s background in urban dance and Evelyn’s deep roots in Zouk, their classes offer a fresh and innovative approach. They explore how different dance forms influence and enhance Zouk, bringing creativity and new perspectives to their teaching.
Their love for dance is undeniable, and their energy is infectious. Whether you’re a beginner or an advanced dancer, you’ll leave each class feeling inspired, empowered, and more in tune with your dance journey. Evelyn and Derrick’s classes are an experience you don’t want to miss!
