Course Details

Zouk-Lambada is a flowing, graceful dance that reflects passion and connection between two partners. Originating in Brazil in the 1980s, this dance is characterised by hair flicks, flowing ‘wave’ motions and a smooth, elegant rhythm. Beautiful to watch and fun to perform, it is easy to see why Zouk Lambada has been coined the ‘dance of love!’

Zouk-Lambada has origins in Lambada, a partner dance favoured in Brazil and beyond from the 1980s onward. As Lambada music became rarer, the dance style began to fall out of favour.

When Caribbean Zouk music styles became more popular throughout Brazil, the Lambada style of partnered dancing combined with modern dance styles created the Zouk-Lambada style.

Zouk-Lambada is characterised by graceful and fluid movements and whipping motion with the hair.

  • Teacher's Experience
  • She didn’t know it at the time, but Danica’s life changed when she started dancing in 2015. Initially dragged along to Latin Lovers by a friend to dance Salsa, it didn’t take long before the music and dynamic connectedness of Zouk caught her attention. Testament to her passion, Danica has since initiated her own dance wear company and blog, www.heels-travel-zouk.com, to help inspire and grow the global Zouk community. Having performed in a number of professional choreographies such as Kadu and Larissa’s Advanced Zouk Team Canberra, Arthur and Layssa’s Canberra choreography and Eglantine’s Ladies Zouk Shines among others at Territory and international Zouk and Latin dance events, Danica has a diverse range, style and confidence she imparts to her students. Coupled with twelve years of leadership and management training, Danica is known for her passion and effective teaching style that is tailored to each student. Danica started instructing at Kmotion in early 2017, and loves watching her ‘Zouklings’ grow into confident, happy and considerate dancers. Danica describes teaching Zouk at Kmotion as an honour as she gets to be involved at the initial stage of people’s dance journeys. Danica exudes a genuine passion for dance and looks forward to helping others discover their confidence and unlock their potential through connection and Zouk.
