Do you love WCS music, and do you really enjoy connection in dancing? Then definitely come try SWOUK! First, we will teach you to dance zouk during our workshop! And then you’ll be free to play during the social, which incorporates songs that work for WCS, zouk, and/or both! The two funnest dance styles unite!!! If you have yet to experience it, zouk music is sooo fun and versatile, allowing for the incorporation of fusion, blues, or urban kiz! Also, a bunch of zouk music also works for WCS!
Attention~~~~
To protect our fellow dancers who deal with asthma, migraines, or other allergic reactions, we strive to be a **Fragrance-Free Space.** Therefore, we kindly request that all dancers PLEASE REFRAIN FROM using perfume, cologne, or scented body sprays/lotions on the day of dances.

S C H E D U L E :
——————————————————
2:45 - 4:15 PM = Zouk Basics, Fusion/Musicality & Connection Workshop
4:15 - 4:30 PM = Zouk Mini Practica
4:30 - 7:00 PM = SWOUK Social Dancing (West Coast Swing, Zouk, and Fusion songs throughout. The majority of songs will work for both WCS AND Zouk.)

S C H E D U L E ~ D E T A I L S :
——————————————————
~ THE WORKSHOP: Zouk Basics, Fusion, & Connection
(2:45-4:15) ~
We’ll instruct on zouk basics, musicality, and provide insight on qualities of movement that distinguish zouk as a comfortable, fun, and freeing dance style. We will also spend time working on connection – which will be useful for WCS dancers as well, to help them attune to their partners and pick up on subtle cues/communicate more seamlessly! The zouk connection is super enjoyable and light! (FYI, WCS-specific moves won’t be covered in depth on that day.) This workshop will focus on giving you the tools you need for zouk and fusion! (Since we expect that people in this area have less experience with zouk, we will be working more on teaching zouk and fusion in class). If you’d like info on where you can learn or brush up on WCS skills, we recommend WCS classes taught at the Green Door or by Carla LaRue Heiney at Lindy Central/Rhythm Lounge or Keith Stremmel or the online classes by Sean and Alyssa. (Helpful links for WCS resources at the end of this document!)
~ MINI ZOUK PRACTICA: (4:15-4:30)~
Zouk practica right after the workshop/before the social! This is a great time to practice (or refuel at the snack table!). You may ask the teachers any questions you might have! And have the space to work on moves/concepts from the workshop and explore!
~ THE SOCIAL DANCE: SWOUK (4:30-7:00) ~
For the SWOUK social, we will be playing a mix of songs that work for WCS, zouk, and/or both! Additionally, zouk music is really versatile, so you can choose to incorporate fusion/micro, blues, or urban kiz. Ask us to dance! There will also be S*N*A*C*K*S.
