Join us on Saturday, March 8 for an exploratory workshop for Brazilian zouk dancers to have more fun on the dance floor. SATURDAY, MARCH 8
Adaptability for Brazilian Zouk Dancers w/ Lunna Gomes & Gabi Neri
Glen Echo Park Hall of Mirrors
4:30 pm - 6:00 pm Workshop + includes preceding 4:00-4:30 pm Practica and evening class and social
Dancing with another person is like getting in touch with a whole different universe. Each person that we dance with carries their own physicality, experience and ideas, plus each music and space can influence us too. Combined, these bring to the dance unique textures, new possibilities and challenges.
In this class, we will go through the main elements of adaptation. We will focus on learning how to customize our embrace, rhythm, and energy to create singular, more comfortable and present dances to any music and with any partner.
Your ticket for this workshop also includes our evening class and social at Glen Echo. There’s an open level zouk class with Raven from 8:30-9:30pm and after that a social until 1:00am.

ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR
Lunna Gomes began dancing as a child, exploring various styles such as classical dance, jazz, tap dance, urban dances, and contemporary dance. In 2015, she embarked on her journey with partner dancing at Jaime Arôxa School in the city of Goiânia. She specialized in the Zouk style and, upon moving to New York City, she began developing her interdisciplinary research on body awareness and connection within the Zouk style. She has taken professional courses with Jaime Arôxa (Rio de Janeiro), Xandy Liberato (Brasília), Jessica Landon & Ryel (New York). Over the course of six years, she has taught in cities such as New York, Goiânia, Rio de Janeiro, Brasília, and Belo Horizonte, bringing her unique and sensitive approach to connecting art and life, creating a safe and dynamic environment in her classes. Currently pursuing a master's degree in Performing Arts at the Federal University of Goiás in Brazil, Lunna's research focuses on improvisation and conscious movement, translating dance into a comprehensive partnership that involves versatile vocabulary, body awareness, sensitivity, and creativity.
