Brazil is home to many  featured artists, and we are fortunate to have some coming, not to mention NYC's very own Instructors, who will be mixing it up with something different you may have not seen. 

Please Note*** Due to firecode restrictions and capacity in New York City,  we will be limiting again this year our passes.

If you are NEW TO ZOUK, then we highly recommend this program for you. Learning a new dance can be challenging due to environment, people, and arrrangement of the dance. Keeping this in mind, the NYC ZOUK FESTIVAL has designed a program to foster your learning in a progressive and comfortable environment so you learn with your start group.  The D2Z Program includes a syllabus and Playlist so that you can begin dancing Zouk after you complete the D2Z Camp. 

This Dare to ZOUK (D2Z pass) gets you access to all three days of Dare To Zouk (D2Z) Workshops and Parties.  This includes a total about 11 Workshops and 3 Evening parties suited to those who just starting out in ZOUK or want to explore the basics.  Workshops will be guided during the day by a 6 hour D2Z Zouk Camp that is given by some of the best instructors in NY and 4 supplemental workshops given by visiting instructors.

If you are new to Zouk or curioius about the dance and our growing fun loving community, then this is the pass for you. DARE TO ZOUK and come learn what Brazilian Zouk is about!!!
