ZEM Labs - Enrich your Brazilian zouk
Exploration spaces designed to refine your technique and body awareness, strengthen your fundamentals, and develop a more fluid, precise, and creative dance.
What are ZEM Labs?
ZEM Labs are technical workshops designed to refine movement quality, deepen body awareness, and enrich your dance through targeted themes, renewed with each edition.
Who are the ZEM Labs for?
For dancers who want to strengthen their foundations, progress more quickly, understand the “why” behind the movements, and enrich their dance through different creative possibilities — in a technical environment focused on movement quality and partner connection.
How do the ZEM Labs work?
ZEM Labs take place approximately once a month, before a ZEM Social, and offer a progressive technical framework to explore your dance through different concepts drawn from the fundamentals taught in our Level 1.
schedule
Lab Inter — 1:00 PM to 2:30 PM (1h30)
A workshop based on Level 1 concepts, where we revisit the fundamentals to explore different creative options (variations, movement quality, musicality, connection).
Break / Prática — 2:30 PM to 3:00 PM (30 min)
A moment to rest or practice — your choice.
Lab Advanced — 3:00 PM to 4:30 PM (1h30)
A workshop where we dive into more complex concepts (upper‑body rotations, travelling, body awareness, fluidity, connection).
PrErequisites
Lab Inter: having completed our Level 1 (Fundamentals) or its equivalent.
Lab Advanced: having completed or currently completing our Level 4 (Advanced) or its equivalent.
To participate in the Lab Advanced, you must also be registered for the Lab Inter, as both workshops complement each other.
lead / follow Ratio
We ensure a balanced lead/follow ratio in our ZEM Labs to optimize your learning experience.
