Brazilian Zouk
Meet your new obsession
Brazilian Zouk, /zuk/ is a partner dance
which began in Brazil during the early 1990s. Brazilian Zouk evolved
from the partner dance known as the Lambada. As the Lambada music genre
went out of fashion, Lambada dancers turned to Caribbean Zouk (from the
francophone, Caribbean Islands) as their music of choice. It was this
transition that birthed the dance known as Brazilian Zouk. The term
"Brazilian Zouk" was adopted in order to distinguish the dance style
from the musical genre "Caribbean Zouk". Nowadays the term
"Zouk" is commonly used to refer to the "Brazilian Zouk" dance
style.
