Bootcamp Zouk Connection by Bess & Hilde

Wednesday March 13, 2019 | 19:00 - 22:00 | Amsterdam

Are you interested in the endless possibilities you can achieve in Zouk as soon as you start to see the dance as a conversation ? Then you should definitely join our bootcamp! 

In this three hour bootcamp the focus will be mainly on the connection with your own body and mind, the connection with your partner and the freedom to disconnect from a partner. We are both experienced followers and leaders so we will teach the bootcamp from our perspective as a follower and leader.

As soon as you get aware of the connection in your own body, it will become easier to connect with someone else. So the first part of the bootcamp will contain exercises to explore your own style in solo dance and exercises to develop your posture and your individual way of moving.

In the second part we will focus more on the connection with a partner. It will be about the physical conversation you can have and that both voices are equal. We will let you change the roles of following and leading all the time so you get to understand the other role better. During the different exercises we will focus a lot on how the different roles and ways of moving let you feel physically and emotionally.

And in the third part we will focus on the freedom to disconnect from a partner or the freedom to say no to a dance. This is still sort of a taboo because it often feels like being rejected be someone or it feels like you reject someone personally when you say no while a no often means “I take care of myself for a moment”. We would like to give you different relaxed and fun but honest ways in movement or in words to disconnect or say no to someone.

The Bootcamp is accessible for all levels, followers and leaders.
