Dance Style
Our signature style — a deeply musical, flowing partner dance from Brazil.
Around the early nineties, people in Rio were dancing to Caribbean zouk music. On this music certain elements of Lambada and Lambada Caffeira were used, and with these elements Brazilian Zouk was born. The music is from the Caribbean, which also has its own dance style: Lambada, which has a revival through Brazilian Zouk, is danced on Zouk music but also on Kizomba and other music with a typical slow, quick, quick beat.
At Flowaka we focus on technique, musicality, and intentional connection. Our classes cover circular movements, body isolations, headmovement, travelling turns, leans, boomerangs, counter balance, and sequential rhythms patterns — all taught in a safe and structured way.
