Flowstate Festival - Zouk and West Cost Swing
2024-11-08 04:00 - 2024-11-11 03:59 | Haverstock School, Haverstock School, 24 Haverstock Hill, London, NW3 2BQ, United Kingdom
“The UK’s first-ever Brazilian Zouk & West Coast Swing Festival”

Join us for Flow State, a unique and groundbreaking dance festival created in partnership with Easton Swing, Affinity Swing & UKDC – hosted at the UKDC HQ in Chalk Farm, North London. We’re thrilled to bring this vibrant celebration of dance to life, combining West Coast Swing & Brazilian Zouk under one roof.

2 Separate rooms for Parties (One for Zouk, One for West Coast Swing)
Newcomer-Advanced J&J Competitions for WCS (No Zouk Competitions)
Plenty of classes for both styles, from beginner to advanced
Invitational Jack & Jill Show
We even included some Solo Workshops (such as Yoga, Movement & More!)
Separate Zouk & West Coast Swing Fast Track Sessions (for people to try the other style)
Late night Crossover party on Saturday till 3am
A united get-together of UK teachers and organizers

But what if I don’t dance both styles?Or don’t want to try the other style?

It really doesn’t matter! Everything is completely separated, so it’s basically two individual festivals under one roof. We just wanted to combine them to create something bigger and better!
All the parties and classes will be separated, but we’ve added some extra solo classes where everyone can be together.
On Saturday night, after the Zouk party finishes around 1am, there will be a ‘mixed’ party until 3am – This is for those who enjoy a more chilled vibe that is perfect for both styles to dance to.
There will be a competition for West Coast Swing that Zouk people can watch and enjoy but obviously won’t be entering lol.
Additionally, we’re offering a 2-hour deep dive fast track for anyone who wants to test out the other style.
These are all just additional things you can add to your schedule but don’t need to!

UKDC - Zouk Spotlight Series
2024-07-24 20:00 - 21:00 | Haverstock School, Haverstock School, 24 Haverstock Hill, London, NW3 2BQ, United Kingdom
One of our most popular courses – The ‘Zouk Spotlight Series’
Each month is an immersive deep dive into a single core topic. During most other classes, you might get one or two sessions only on a subject or theme that needs more time! It’s one thing to just learn a movement or a pattern, but to practise, integrate and build it into your muscle memory takes time!
This new structure ensures not only a comprehensive understanding but also plenty of time for dedicated practice so you’ll finally see big leaps and progress like never before.
Join the second half of the course on 3rd July!

UKDC - Zouk ‘Immersion Course’ – Level 2, Part C
2024-07-24 19:00 - 20:00 | Haverstock School, Haverstock School, 24 Haverstock Hill, London, NW3 2BQ, United Kingdom
This course is like the secret sauce on your Zouk learning journey… It’s time to dive headfirst into the Zouk ocean – yep, we’re talking about full-on “Immerse” mode!
Most of you are pushing yourselves to go to the next level and taking Zouk seriously – This course is where sh’*t gets real!
It’s time to open your eyes to more complex understandings, more advanced techniques, incorporating creativity and adding styling.
The idea is that after completing the Immersion courses, you should be able to lead and follow extremely comfortably and social dance all night, as everything should simply click in place for you.
