Brazilian Zouk Workshop Weekender Annual

Komturstraße 4, Bremen, Germany

To teach zouk is an amazing and very challenging experience. You meet in the class very different dancers and you try to figure out the best way to make them enjoy the dance that you love. Learning from the experience makes you develop your teaching skills. And wouldn’t it be amazing, if you could learn too from the experience of others?

This is exactly what we offer to you during this weekend. I, Fernando, was teaching in Bremen the last 13 years and the last 4 together with Olga. Now we have our own dance school in the heart of the city, our own system (the Zouk Atoms) and give 13 regular classes every week. We have collected in the last years a lot of experience giving regular classes that we want to give to you in a structured way.

=== PROGRAMM ===

The weekend will focus on two points:

- TEACHING PRINCIPLES: It doesn’t matter which kind of couple dance you are teaching, you are in front of human beings and you want to teach them how to move together in a comfortable way. You need to manage the group, to organize the space of the class, to know how to play with the time and with the attention of the students, to create good progressions for your exercises. And this not only for one class but for different courses that can take several months. We will give to you tools to lead successful your classes.

- HOW TO TEACH BEGINNERS: To teach beginners it’s not only about to give them a bunch of basics. Beginners is one of the most complex classes. We will give you strategies to deal with proper weight transfer, learning ways to teach the zouk rhythm, organize the basics in the way that fits best to you and to your group, give you exercises (for the warming up too) that help students to develop their skills. And of course we will go through the basics and show you the way how we teach them in our classes.

We have helped dancers to go from beginner to advanced for years and we would love to help you do the same!
