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

One of my biggest fascinations about dance is the “Trance” experience you can have. The moment where you’re completely in the moment, with your body and mind. The body is always in the here and now but the mind can be in the past or the future, even when you dance.
In this bootcamp you will get several exercises that could lead to this state of “being completely in the moment” during dance. A mix of long duration exercises, high intensity exercises, being aware of your senses and how to use them effectively and exercises that will help you to learn how to listen to your body. And all of this on rhythmical Afro and Deep House music.
I will focus meanly on the physical experience during the bootcamp. The bootcamp will contain a lot of doing/ dancing and less talking. It can be a nice experience for solo and partner dancers. No dance experience required.

The Burlesque classes will be focused on movements that express femininity and sensuality. Physically this means for example, that you will learn how to make long lines with your body, how to walk on heels in a feminine way, how to make your movements soft and fluid and how to reach your personal maximum range of stretching in dance moves. Connected to the moves I’ll focus on how to express femininity and sensuality by more theatrical exercises. The lessons will contain an extensive warm up and a piece of choreography so you can apply all the things you’ve learnt in the warming up in the choreography. The lessons are accessible to men and women and accessible to all levels.

African dance classes contain different elements. One of these elements is developing rhythm and applying this in dance. You will get various movement materials coming from different African dance styles. You will learn how to isolate body parts and the most important element that returns in each class will be daring yourself to move freely and freestyle. For those freestyles you will get tools that will make freestyling easier and more fun! Learning how to dance is learning by moving a lot and not by talking a lot about it. That’s the core of how I teach in every style but especially during the Afro classes. You will move a lot with just a few breaks in between the classes, which also improves your stamina. And all of this will be done on energetic music! The lessons are accessible to all levels.

To make connection with another person/ body in dance it’s necessary to make a good connection with your own body in the first place. If you know how to relax and control your own body it’s much easier to share this with someone else in a form of following and leading. The classes will contain different elements as exercises to get aware of your center/ core and about how to use the center/ core of the body. There will also be exercises where I focus on relaxation and stretching and how to combine all those things to make a better connection with a partner. The lessons will contain a lot of improvisation exercises in which you can apply the tools you’ve learnt immediately. Almost all of the exercises will be practiced with a partner. Men and women can be leaders and followers during my lessons. You will learn how to be both in the class. The class will contain 20% solo dance and 80% partner dancing. I will focus mainly on how to use all of those tools in Zouk dancing. But the tools can also be used in other partner dance styles. You don’t have to bring a dance partner.
