The Gradients of Brazilian Zouk with Jerry Lai

This is a weekender on the HOW, not so much WHAT.
🟦Groundedness & Flight - Feel effortless in flying across the floor within our own body.
🟪Stars & Planets - Recycle momentum between the partnership in different constellations.
🟥Isolation & Flow - Pass the momentum between partnerships into your own body to the music.
🟧Freedom & Control - How to have a voice as a follower, how to give space as a lead, to actively choose to be in the recycling of inertia with your partner, or not.

*The Gradients* Weekender explores the rich universe in-between opposing binaries. It is less about the moves or the steps, but the approach. It presents several binaries, attempting to cultivate awareness, shining the spotlight of awareness on qualitative parts of your dance. Bring awareness to where your movement tendencies are on the gradient, and intentionally expand your range to where you feel most authentic within that gradient.

While the intensive is truly open-level, consistent movement experience in other modalities or a few years of social-dancing are highly recommended for the amount of body awareness required to maximize your benefit. You are expected to know all the Brazilian Zouk basics. There will be as much solo work as there is partner work.
