Zouchata: The Evolution of Latin Dance
Have you heard of Zouchata? The latest fusion of two popular dance styles.
Do You Know Brazilian Zouk?
Brazilian Zouk and Bachata Sensual go together like body rolls and head movements; some things just make sense. If you’ve been on the social dance floor in the last 10+ years, you may have noticed some serious changes. Brazilian Zouk, itself is a relatively new dance; a descendent of Lambada, influenced by contemporary Latin styles, it became popularized in the 1990’s, and has quickly become the star of the show. Native Brazilian instructors like Renata Peçanha, Jaime Arôxa, Alex De Carvalho, and Larissa Thayane Frisbee and Kadu Pires (founders of Brazilian Zouk Council), just to name a few, have helped to develop techniques and train others in the style of Brazilian Zouk. The characteristic fluid sensuality and upper body (particularly head and neck) movements have added a new dimension to social dance, that is spreading like wildfire.
