Honolulu Zouk Last week I posted about Island Zouk Lounge I attended on Thursday, so this week my post is about Honolulu Zouk, Hawaii’s other Zouk group! People living in Hawaii are lucky for a couple of reasons; they get to live in Hawaii. And they have two different but equally great options for learning and dancing Zouk. The Sunday…
Island Zouk Today’s blog is a bit different to usual – I am writing from Lanikai beach, Hawaii!! It is about 31 degrees with a nice breeze carrying the Zouk beats to me from my laptop. Today I will tell you about Island Zouk; one of the dance groups here with a super awesome Zouk social on Thursday nights. Just…
In a recent blog of mine I explored the notion that we are all beginners; and that some were just more experienced than others. It follows that if we are all beginners, we are all still learning… but this isn’t necessarily something we all do very well. My concept of learning has changed over my two years of dancing Zouk.…
Dancing is not about what you look like – it is about how you feel. When starting our dancing journey, many of us can over think it.

When you first start on your dance journey, in my case my Zouk journey, it is easy to get overwhelmed by the advanced dancers. What I didn’t expect was that after two years of…
Your dancing cohort: the awesome people that help you learn to dance. Get to know the people you learn to dance with. Appreciate them. You have different backgrounds, different jobs and lives, but you will always have your dance roots in common. You might not know it yet, but in terms of the dance community, your dance cohort are your…
To dance, or not to dance? I mentioned in my latest post that despite only having my two-year Zouk-aversary I really only started dancing when I experienced the power of connection. I started when I found myself dancing while at the Prague Zouk Congress. But the events that led to me walking into a dance studio in the first place…
In my first blog post I explained what was in the name ‘Heels-Travel-Zouk’ and how I found myself dancing overseas and then found myself online with ‘How I Got Here‘.
