About Evelyn:

Evelyn is one of the most sought-after Brazilian Zouk artists and dance instructors in the world.


Evelyn is born in Transylvania (Romania), grew up in the Netherlands and currently living in a beautiful town called Valley Springs in California USA.


In 2006 she was confronted with her destiny "Brazilian Zouk", where she fell in love with the dance which has been her passion ever since. Over the years, while studying and working abroad within her professional dance career, Evelyn has performed and taught in several countries all over the world. Evelyn partnered with many prolific Zouk leaders like Pasty, Adilio Porto, MafieZouker, Xandy Liberato and many more at international congresses.


According to Evelyn, dancing Zouk is, "Surrendering in the moment with a balanced mental and physical state, combining creativity through inner-beauty, while existing in harmony with the music”.


Evelyn embodies a unique approach to dance - an art of moving, expressing and interpreting the music internally, and from your heart. Her talents inspire dancers around the world to express their dance from their souls coming from an unconditional love for the ‘self’ and for others.

About Derrick
Before partnering and teaching with Evelyn in Brazilian Zouk, Derrick’s specialty was solo dancing in the form of B-Boying (Breaking) and house dancing. Born in Hawaii, Derrick is one of the original 808 Breakers and is part of Soulshifters Crew, who specialize in the fine arts of urban Hip Hop. Derrick’s dance lineage focuses on improvisation, musicality, creativity and showmanship. Additionally, Derrick uses inspiration from his life in Hawaii such as how things move within the different elements of nature and the interaction between people and the land.


Derrick’s wife Evelyn taught him the world of Zouk and have been teaching Brazilian Zouk together since 2017. Similarities of different dance forms have refreshed their dance experience, creativity and passion for movement. Derrick and Evelyn love to train, build, create and link traditional movement with the new. A common dance path was not to only focus on movement, but the feelings and emotions behind moving through space and time together. As an dance instructor, Derrick strives to inspire others to dance with pure intentions and to be themselves.
