What is Brazilian Zouk?

Zouk is a partner dance style that evolved from Lambada in Brazil, and can be instantly recognized by the creative patterns and characteristic head movement. Since its inception, Zouk has continued to evolve and take inspiration from many other styles and is quickly growing to become one of the most popular partner dances in the United States.
