Sierra Zouk Retreat 2025

Welcome to Sierra Zouk Retreat 2025
DANCE. CONNECT. ELEVATE.

Step into a space where dance is more than movement - it’s an experience of deep connection, self-discovery, and flow. At Sierra Zouk Retreat, we invite you to shed expectations and step into a world of compassion, curiosity, and creativity in your dance.

For four days and four nights, you’ll be guided by masterful instructors who have shaped the evolution of Brazilian Zouk, not just as a dance, but as a practice of presence, trust, and expression. Through their wisdom and the community itself, you’ll unlock new dimensions of movement, refine your technique, and expand your capacity for connection - both with yourself and others.

More than a retreat, this is an immersion into the heart of Zouk, where every step brings you closer to your essence. Whether you're deepening your dance or embracing something new, we welcome you to explore, grow, and move with us in a space free of judgment - where every body and every story belongs.

Join us, and let’s dance into something greater, together.
