Brazilian zouk dance by Iago Hassuike and Vanessa Meirelles at the 2022 Elevation Denver Zouk Festival in Denver, CO. This demo was performed after their Thursday workshop on “gift movements“ at the pre-party event. It’s their first visit to the U.S. and this was the first class and demo of the event! The movements seemed small but there was a lot of detail leading up to them. We learned the leg sweep at 0:30 and the releases at 0:43 and 0:58. *Song:* Nao Me Tarraxa - Vanda May *About KD Day // One Day KD //* @OneDayKD Hello - My name’s KD.
