💃✨ ITALO & MARIANA — ALL THE WAY FROM BRAZIL! ✨🕺Bachata & Zouk Dance Weekender
Saturday 22nd & Sunday 23rd November
Whether you dance Bachata or Zouk, this weekend will transform your connection, flow, and musicality.
Italo & Mariana — one of Brazil’s most inspiring dance couples — are known worldwide for their fluid movement, creativity, and expressive style.
They’ll help you unlock new levels of confidence, connection, and smooth, controlled movement in your dancing. 💫
They began their partnership in August 2022, and since then have been developing their own methodology that blends autonomy, personality, and technique applied to Brazilian Zouk, combining their individual knowledge in a complementary and creative way.
Mariana has been teaching Brazilian Zouk and Lambada for two years, bringing into her work the insights from her degree in education and teaching methodologies.
Her focus is on developing followers’ self-confidence through three essential pillars: Autonomy, Sensuality, and Comfort.
Ítalo started dancing at the age of 7, and by 10 he was already a two-time Brazilian Ballroom Dance Champion.
With over 10 years of professional experience, he stands out for his fusion of techniques from different dance styles applied to Brazilian Zouk, giving his work a unique and innovative signature.
✨ Together, Italo & Mariana bring an approach that bridges both Bachata and Zouk worlds — emphasising body awareness, connection, and expressive movement.
Their focus on control, creativity, and musical interpretation makes their teaching especially valuable for dancers looking to:
Bring more fluidity and grace into their Bachata
Improve connection, balance, and head movement in Zouk
Develop a deeper sense of partnership, presence, and personal style on the dance floor
Whether you’re a Bachata dancer exploring Zouk, or a Zouk dancer wanting to enhance musicality and control, their methodology will help you grow in confidence, creativity, and connection — across both styles. 💃🕺
