Additional Private Classes
(ADDITIONAL CLASSES TO BE CONFIRMED)
Anderson & Brenda are happy to offer some additional private class during this 9 days ZoukDanceCamp. This is perfect for anyone wanting to strengthen any particular areas. There are very limited slots available, so make a swift decision and pre-book yours now!
This Chapter ∞ Infinity programme does not require a fixed partner, we accept individual single-person sign-ups.
For beginners, novices, and lesser experienced dancers, you do not need to worry about finding a fixed partner. We do not recommend finding a fixed partner, however, if you really want to find a fixed partner, then that’s also okay.
For experienced dancers who are here to revisit and refine the essential foundations and basics, we highly recommend signing up with a partner because based on past experience and our previous ZoukDanceCamps, those who signed up with partners showed incredible results of the biggest improvements. This is because they are able to practice with a body they are already familiar with and are comfortable giving each other sincere feedback. Another advantage is your fixed partner is someone who you are likely able to practice with after the ZoukDanceCamps for further development. However, it’s still beneficial to sign up with NO fixed partner, learning to have strong basics that are able to dance with beginners, novices, and lesser experienced dancers is what makes a great social dancer and part of the process.

Travel/Transport Guide
Everyone learns both roles; to Lead and to Follow.
We always recommend you sign up with a fixed partner however, if you cannot find a partner to sign up with there is also the option of the singles application. By choosing this option you will be rotating between other single participants. For clarity, you will not be rotating with those who signed up with fixed partners. We do limit the number of single spots and can give priority to applications with partners.
All single participants are expected to rotate every 10-20mins during classes. The teachers will call out when to rotate. Some of ZDC team members will be part of the rotation to assist. Also, we encourage you to rotate during assisted and non-assisted practice time even if you signed up with a partner. Check our FAQ for more information about rotations!
No rotations for fixed partners! There will be no changing for fixed partners during classes! If you want to be part of rotations, please let the class know. We do encourage rotations during assisted and non-assisted practice hours.
Class Topics
Fully immerse yourself in 33 hours of Brazilian Zouk Foundation and Brenderson Basics with only 16 couples to maximise learning value. This Chapter ∞ Infinity programme is specially designed for both novices (anyone with no prior Zouk experience) and experienced dancer who wants to learn Brazilian Zouk from Anderson & Brenda. This dance camp is absolutely suitable for complete beginners and essential for advanced dancers!
You’ll have the utmost attention from Anderson & Brenda to help you develop a strong and confident dance foundation that will not topple whether your dream is to become a dancer, teacher, professional dancer, or just want to learn dancing for fun. Sure!
Learning right from the very start is a great way to save time, progress quickly, avoid bad habits, and this initial investment takes you a long way to save money and time in the long run. You reap the benefits of what you sow and grow!
Thinking of joining the other chapters 1-4 in this series with Anderson & Brenda? You will require good knowledge and practical experience to progress. Chapter ∞ Infinity (plus frequent practice) will help you obtain the pre-requisite you need in order to participate in chapters 1-4.
Why is it important not to skip the foundation? Conditioning your body & mind takes many years of preparation to be ready so that it can be fully responsive and be able to absorb the next layers of communication.
Why are we learning both roles to Lead and Follow? Did you know all our favorite and best teachers can dance both roles? How can we understand and have empathy for how our partner feels if we’ve never been in their shoes or see from their perspective? This is the reason why we decided to teach everyone in this Chapter ∞ Infinity to dance both roles; to Lead and to Follow.
If you currently dance only one role, take this great opportunity to master your primary role, but also learn the opposite role. You can sign up with a partner, or without, and your partner can be any gender. Easy!
