Brazilian Zouk

Rhythm Identity Dance Academy over the years build a reputation as the premier Zouk dance academy in Malaysia with our instructors getting invitations to teach at other countries thanks to the conditioning and lesson structures taught in RI. So what is Zouk?

Brazilian Zouk is a partner dance originating from Brazil. Also known as zouk-lambada, the dance is a descendant of lambada.

Currently three styles of Zouk have evolved:

• Traditional Zouk (or Rio style zouk) is a more sensual, romantic and dramatic style of Brazilian zouk.
• Lamba Zouk (or zouk-lambada or Porto Seguro style) has the closest connection to lambada.
• Modern Zouk (or Neo zouk) is a highly diverse group that sums up the latest variants of Brazilian zouk.
• In addition and within these three styles many professional zouk dancers have created and named their own derivations of zouk, such as Flow zouk, Mzouk, Soul zouk and Vero zouk.
