We invite you to a unique Brazilian Zouk dance workshop – a sensual, fluid, and mindful style that can become your practice of deep connection: with your body, your partner, the music, and the space of your heart.
Zouk is more than just a dance – it’s a meditation in motion, a dialogue without words, a meeting where trust and presence become the foundation of every shared wave. It’s also an excellent practice of embodiment: body awareness, boundaries, emotions, and relationality. In dance, we learn to give and receive leadership, listen through touch, and most importantly – release control and surrender to the flow.
Through rhythmic hip movements and isolations, we will learn how to find connection with our partner, diving into a pleasant dance-music trance.
For anyone who:
Wants to experience dance as a form of mindful presence and meditation in motion.
Desires to deepen their connection with their body and learn to move in harmony with their energy.
Is curious about the world of relationality, connection, working with feminine and masculine energy.
Is eager to discover something new – regardless of dance experience!
You don’t need to know zouk or have a partner – come as you are. Both solo participants and couples are welcome.
Marcelina is pure movement in many forms – always connected with the flow of life through dance, yoga, meditation, and breath. From early childhood, she explored the connection between body and mind. Starting with ballet and contemporary dance at the age of 5, her journey evolved through various stages, including improvisation, contact improvisation, street dance, partner dance, leading her to the current stage of intuitive dance, Brazilian zouk, somatic movement, yoga, and meditation.
She is a certified yoga instructor (500h Yoga Alliance) and a dance teacher with over 10 years of experience. Her journey into partner dance began in 2015, leading her to a passionate romance with Brazilian zouk. She has led workshops in this style in Australia, Bali, and Poland.
Additionally, Marcelina has conducted workshops and regular classes in various dance schools, yoga studios, and retreats (in Poland, the Netherlands, Portugal, Sweden, Spain, Mexico, Nepal, Japan, Bali), which has allowed her to understand diverse needs and approaches.
She also loves to travel and explore new cultures, read books, spend time in nature, explore alternative lifestyles, and have deep conversations.
