While I’m not a newbie to dancing in general, I am to Zouk…but I love it!
Ever since I saw Kadu & Larissa perform at the 2010 Sydney Salsa Congress, I’ve been taken by it’s beauty and sensuality - and despite other friends light-heartedly describing it as looking as though the female is stoned, I haven’t [...]

Today I typed in into Google and it came back with 32,200,000 search results!
