♦ About LAMBAZOUK ♦
Lambazouk is a couple dance originated from Porto Seguro, Brazil and has its roots in the lambada although it has evolved to a smoother and softer dance. The basic step in Lambazouk involves hip movements and a sensual flow over the dance floor. Lambazouk is danced 'on one' (123 567 or quick-quick-slow) which creates a different structure for the dance where you can pick up the breaks without stopping the movement. Like the name already says, there is more influence from Lambada than in the other zouk styles. Lambazouk contains a lot of spinning and the movement in general is more circular. Bonecas and head movements are also important parts of Lambazouk, but still keeping the movements soft and sensual.

♦ About BRAZOUKA STOCKHOLM ♦

The school started offering regular classes back in 2008 and has since then been organizing various Zouk events, inviting well-renowned guest teachers from all over the world.

BRAZOUKA CREW

This is a short serial presenting the members and instructors of Brazouka Crew!
WHO ARE WE AND WHAT DO WE DO? Read and learn more about us in this feuilleton.

Brazouka Crew.png

First out is: JONAS OLLMAR.

Jonas is not only active behind the camera, shooting all the photos from our Sunday practicas but he is also one of the main instructors at Brazouka. For those of you who are not familiar with Jonas, he started dancing Zouk at Brazouka Dance school back in 2009. He began taking classes at Brazouka and continued developing his skills travelling around the world participating at different congresses; London, Prague, Barcelona, Brno etc.  He has also visited the city of Lambazouk in Brasil: Porto Seguro in 2013. Today, he is one of the instructors at Brazouka Dance School sharing his professional skills and passion for the dance. You will find him teaching Zouk on Sundays the intermediate/advanced course, starting the 23rd of April, at Västmannagatan 46 Studio Salsa.

BC: What caught your attention about the Zouk dance?
JONAS: The thing that got me interested from the beginning was the beautiful music and also that the dance is so different from other dances, with its soft movements and the possibility to improvisation and music adaptation.

BC: Do you have any favorite dance couple?
JONAS: I have several instructors and performers I like, and I appreciate them for different reasons. Also, they have often been important for me at specific times of my dancing development. Some are good at teaching to beginners, some give good energy and motivation, some are good at technique, some are good performers and have a nice chemistry, etc. But most importantly, they are simply friendly people!

BC: What would you want to share and communicate to your students?
JONAS: As a beginner student, don't forget that all of the more experienced and "advanced" dancers you see at the dance floor have been total beginners at one time. It might seem difficult or even impossible to achieve that level of dancing, but you have to take small steps towards your goal, and cherish all your smaller successes, and before you know it, you too will be a good dancer! But don't forget: you never stop learning!

BC: Finally…tell us something about you that we didn’t know!
JONAS: Well, many of you probably know I’m also dancing West Coast Swing and that I started my dancing career by learning salsa. However, before that I practiced martial arts for about 10 years which I had use of when I started dancing “social dances”, even though the leader and follower roles are a bit different...
