Brazilian Zouk Group Classes in Montreal
Our Class Programs
Starting in Fall 2026, our Brazilian zouk classes will adopt a clearer and more intuitive naming structure. The concepts taught remain the same, but their titles are evolving to better reflect your learning progression:
LEVEL 1 (formerly Fundamentals)
LEVEL 2 (formerly Inter 1)
LEVEL 3 (formerly Inter 2)
LEVEL 4 (formerly Advanced)
We are also introducing a brand‑new LEVEL 5: a dedicated exploration space for zoukers who wish to deepen the concepts introduced in LEVEL 4. This level focuses on developing a more nuanced, fluid, and intentional dance, refining movement quality, dynamic precision, and the richness of your variations.
Each level runs over a 10‑week session (except during summer, when only LEVEL 1 is offered in an 8‑week format). Our program is designed to help you grow in a progressive, safe, and logical way: each level strengthens the foundations needed to approach the next with confidence, coherence, and joy.
dance to the Rhythm of Brazilian Zouk THIS fall!
After a lighter summer schedule - a season of vacations, sunshine and outdoor activities - we are delighted to resume our full Brazilian zouk program starting in September 2026.
Our classes will now be presented with a clearer and more intuitive naming structure, and will include an exciting addition: LEVEL 5!
Explore our full schedule below and get ready for your Brazilian zouk journey this fall!
We will also continue hosting our monthly ZEM Socials at Station Clark, along with our collaboration with La Onda Social (EDA), held on the last Saturday of each month, this fall. Both socials take place on Saturdays, but please note that the studios and schedules differ. To view all dates, locations, and times, visit our Calendar page, updated regularly!
