LAMBAZOUK MONDAYS (Starting January 8) Adv-Beginner/Intermediate Level. 

LAMBAZOUK Connects us to the roots of our dance.  Lambazouk is mostly danced on the Quick rhythm ( quick-quick-slow)  but can be dance on the slow rythm as well (slow-quick-quick). Lambazouk expresses energy, positivness and party thru the up beat songs as well as sweet flowy and romantic melodies found in medium speed songs, both always maintaining the Batida (beat). Lambaderos enjoy  Hitting the accents of the music with hip movements, Cambres (Dips), Chicocte (whip-like head movements) and continuous spins.  Wifi  connection (leading from the distance- Visual lead) and strong positive energy are typical for Lambazouk. We believe it will help any Brazilian Zouk-Lambada dancer achieve their full potential and their umbilical cord to our dance.

This 8 week course will help you understand technique in Body Alignment, Timing, and Alegria. 

Body Alignment : LZ helps understand the classical technique and fundamentals of body alignment and eveness  through a series of drills and exercises to develop and strengthen the body. Legs, arms, torso and head movement are all part of this class.

Timing: Lambazouk specifically  is characterized for the constant stepping to the rhythms (quick or slow) and keeping the beat throughout  the dance, creating a feeling of gliding and floating, giving the opportunity to the student to focus on on the proper executions of  head movements  with safety and flow.

Algeria: Lambazouk’s high energy  will get you Happy spirit thru the connection to the basic  musical accents found in the music.
