Brazilian Zouk Level 2 Progress Checks

🌴 We are almost ready for the NEXT CYCLE of our Brazilian Zouk LEVEL 2 CLASS in Phoenix! 💕

 

🏖️ We have changed up the ‘Test out’ format into a more encompassing and encouraging Progress Check format, as we welcome all current and aspiring Level 2 dancers, as well as Zouk Plus dancers who are curious where they are on their journey through Zouk! 💜

 

😍 LEVEL 2 is designed to focus intensively on technique, musicality, drills, and connection in a small group and more intimate environment. We believe that a small group is one of the best approaches to effective learning and our ultimate goal is to help develop dancers to the next level. ✨

 

💜 Always looking for dedicated dancers who are committed to learning new/classic techniques and most importantly, consistent training. In turn, you will be contributing to the growth and betterment of the Phoenix Brazilian Zouk Community! 🧸

 

 

🎉🎉🎉 If you're already in Level 2, come out for the fun and additional feedback for our ongoing growth together!! 🎉🎉🎉

 

💣🧨🐣 If you’re not sure you’re ready but you’ve been in zouk plus for a few months and are curious of your own development, come out and learn a fun new pattern and see where exactly your dance has the potential to take you by getting personalized feedback! 🤗
