✨ SIERRA ZOUK RETREAT 2026 ✨
Where presence, play, and connection meet.
Imagine four days tucked away in the forest... where time slows down, music becomes medicine, and movement becomes a pathway inward.
Sierra Zouk Retreat isn’t just an event.
It’s a container - designed for curiosity, courage, and connection.
Together, we’ll explore Brazilian Zouk as more than steps or patterns...
As a practice of awareness, trust, and creative expression.
You’ll be invited to soften, listen, and discover new possibilities in your body, your dance, and your relationships.
Whether you’re newer to the journey or refining years of experience, you’ll be supported every step of the way.
Come as you are. Leave with more flow, clarity, and connection.
🌿 WHAT’S INCLUDED
✨ Workshops & Guided Learning
Over 15+ hours of thoughtfully curated classes designed to expand your technique, musicality, creativity, and embodied awareness.
This year, you’ll be guided by artists who care deeply about fundamentals, presence, and play.. using Zouk as a pathway into greater connection with yourself and others.
We’re excited to welcome:
💃🕺 Evelyn & Derrick
💃🕺 Julissa & Kuna
