    Brazilian Zouk is a partner dance that originated in Brazil in the early 1990s. It's known for its smooth, flowing movements, body isolations, and strong connection between partners. The dance evolved from Lambada, a fast-paced dance that was popular in Brazil in the 1980s, but Brazilian Zouk adopted a slower, more sensual style set to different types of music.

    *Key Features:

    --Connection & Flow: Emphasis on a strong connection between
    partners and continuous movement.

    --Body Isolations: Movements often isolate different parts of the body, like chest rolls, hip circles, and undulations.

    --Elasticity & Musicality: Dancers play with timing and stretch movements to interpret the music expressively.
