The beginning of my dance journey and the real story of how I got to “zouk”
As a little child I was fascinated by watching people dancing. I loved watching the lines drew by the movements of ballet and modern dancers, the bodies moved by the music as by magic, their body control, and how dance performances looked so effortless for teh dancers, and yet requiring skills beyond the limits of… Continue reading
About Me
Flavia F.
My first dance class was a ballet class, as I was 6 years old. I have danced then ballet, modern dance, and hip-hop, but it was only during my university studies that I discovered partner-dances. Since then, I danced Salsa, Bachata, West-Coast Swing, and also some Forró, Kizomba, and Argentinian Tango.
I discovered Brazilian Zouk in 2019 at a Salsa, Bachata & Kizomba festival, and I found myself fully fascinated by the flowy movements of this dance. Soon after, I started to attend classes and workshops, and to travel to festivals all around Europe to learn as much as I could and to experience dancing with different people in different countries.
I am a person who loves learning, and I still attend Zouk classes and travel to improve my skills and my understanding of Brazilian Zouk. But I also love to share the knowledge I gained over the years to help others to discover this beautiful dance and to improve their skills and dance experience.
Nowadays, I have two projects which I take very much to heart: the Tango Into Zouk and the Zouk-Skillsharing projects in Hamburg, and I also do my very best to keep alive and grow further the zouk community that I created in Lüneburg.
The Tango Into Zouk project in Lüneburg and Hamburg started as a collaboration with the professional tango dancer and teacher Francesc Marsal. Together we work on finding new ways to bring together the tango technique and zouk flow.
The Zouk-Skillsharing in Hamburg is a no-profit oriented project based on the mutual sharing of the knowledge that other experienced dancers and I acquired over the years. We organize workshops on specific zouk-related topics and a social and practice time afterward. Everyone can volunteer to give a workshop or to contribute to the music for the social.
In Lüneburg I teach regular Zouk classes at the Leuphana University and I organize workshops, trainings, and socials, mostly free and open to everyone. And I am also available for private classes.
