Ottawa Zouk

Ottawa Zouk We are dedicated individuals engaged in promoting Brazilian Zouk dance in the Ottawa region. Zouk is known for its fluidity and flow in movements.

Event organizer in Ottawa focused on promoting and creating Brazilian Zouk dance opportunities such as weekly progressive classes, dance socials, workshops, events, travels, festivals...

Brazilian zouk is a partner dance that originated from lambada. In the 90s, pioneering dancers with contemporary dance background and knowledge of other Brazilian partner dances like Samba and Forró, took Lambada

, and fused it into Zouk that is known today, with more linear steps, and danced on a slow-quick-quick rhythm. Nowadays, Zouk has evolved more, and can be danced on almost any type of music, with different styles, giving rise to endless musicality possibilities. ​

Helga has been dancing since 2006. “I started with Ballroom Latin Dancing in 2012 in Halifax and I have been dancing on and off since then.” She started Zouk Summer 2021. A friend needed a dance partner and asked her to join. “I love dance and Zouk is beautiful and allows me to express myself”. Helga is indeed one expressive person! An artist at heart following the waves of Brazilian Zouk. 💃

Elvis is an avid dancer and rising Kizomba instructor in the Ottawa Dance Community. Humble at heart, he has been partner-dancing for 7 years now, however he was born to be a dancer. He started dancing Congolese dances like soukous and his passion for dance really evolved once he came across Salsa at the Ottawa University. He only started learning BZouk this year. “I chose [Brazilian Zouk] because there was an interest in Ottawa and opportunities for practices.” And we are ever pleased you are dedicated to your practices!

Helga and Elvis partnered up in the Flashmob we danced at the end of the summer. Their vibrancy is still lingering in our hearts! 💛

Sondes officially started dancing Zouk in January 22. “With the Pandemic, I wanted to learn a new dance and I got hooked with the moves, and seriously, the group: good vibes and nice people.” 🤍 She always brings her positive energy and is incredibly motivational. She has dedicated a large number of hour to learning Brazilian Zouk and she is ready to dance with you in our socials, always with a large beautiful smile on her face!

Michael started dancing 17 years ago. “Tango was my first partner dance, a woman introduced me, and I fell for the dance too.” What a passionate man! Michael has moved to Ottawa recently for LOVE. Who doesn’t love a Canadian, right? People cross oceans for us! 🇨🇦 He has danced zouk for over 1 year and he admitted he likes kizomba better. 😢

It’s OK Michael, we still love you and we hope you will continue dancing Brazilian zouk with us!

Isabelle started dancing 10 years ago "I started with Salsa in Thunder Bay with Panamanian Latin Street dancing. The French monitor at my school in 2005 [...] started teaching some teachers for fun. I was one of the 2 teachers that got hooked. A few years later I found Edwin Martinez who founded Panamanian Latin Street dancing and took lessons with him."
Isa has been dancing zouk for a year. Zouk had all the elements she loved for a dance. "I was addicted to kizomba for years but missed the dips and back bends that I would experience with sensual bachata then I found zouk which had all those elements and more!"
Feel this excitement!!!
Isabelle is one of our biggest Brazilian Zouk enthusiast. She brings friends to try the dance and some of them have been coming often as well. Thank you so much for your support and devotion!
Isa glides on the dance floor.

Elad has been dancing since 2001. He started with Rock and Line dancing
because he just decided to follow his parents footsteps. He's been dancing Brazilian Zouk for almost 1 year. "I tried it before in 2011, but there was no community back then to dance with. So now that there is one in Ottawa. I decided to try it again…" We are happy you came back and brought you depth of knowledge in various dance styles.

We are so grateful to have these two coming for our events!
They partnered up in the Flashmob during summer.

Kevin Friday AKA DJ Friday has danced Latin partner dancing for a total of 5 years this October. He started with Salsa and then Bachata.
"I friend told me about Rahim's Salsa in 2011. I went a few times between than and 2017 without lessons; then I decided to learn the dance properly in 2017 with Lessons. I took both Salsa and Bachata together."
Only in the last 1 year and a half he started dancing Brazilian Zouk after being invited to DJ and offered lessons. Kevin is a very lively and creative dancer, and he always has positive comments and praises to share.

Iryna Zazulya has been a dancer for 13 years started with Salsa in a classic dance school in Quebec City where she used to live. "I waited impatiently to turn 16 so I can be eligible to join a Salsa class." said Iryna about her emotions. She's a very advanced dancer started in 2013. She fell in love with Brazilian Zouk because of the music, the energy, and zouk community vibe ❤️. She recently moved to Ottawa and dance is how she is making friends.

Don't they look amazing?

As snow falls in the capital city, some of us start thinking about fond memories of Summer or counting the days to when it will return to warm us up again. What a perfect day to start our series of post with few of our students from the last Flashmob. 🎉

Let's talk about Summer!!! 🌞 She's been dancing for 12 years. "I started with ballet jazz and lyrical, then when I was 15, I got into salsa and bachata. My mom is a dancer and that's how I came across dance. She would throw latin parties, so I grew up around people dancing salsa and bachata." Summer also got into Brazilian Zouk through her mom's dance passion. She joined the flashmob team as a dance leader with no previous zouk knowledge and quickly learned the patterns and the dance. Her mom was also a part of the flashmob where they practiced and shared some quality time together. ❤️

Summer Louise is a natural talented dancer! She chose favorite colour, yellow, to wear during the flashmob. We can't deny that she does shines bright in the middle.

Fell the warmth, Ottawa! 🔥
