Axé(Ahh-shay) is a mix of Samba Reggae, Salsa, Rock, Merengue and Lambada. The dance is very energetic, sensual, rithmic and really makes your body move! It is an individual dance, danced by a (large) group of people. They follow the rhythm and the lyrics of the music. The movements are a combination of African and Brazilian dances. If you’d like to have an excellent body workout without even knowing that you are doing one: start dancing Axé!
ZOUK/LAMBADA:
Is one of the most sensual, exotic, elegant, beautiful and graceful dances. It is a smooth, flowing, stylish, romantic and expressive dance with fluent and long movements. The beautiful and passionate Zouk music is originally from the French Islands (Guadeloupe, Martinique) and from the Cape Verdian Islands. After the Lambada music stopped, the Brazilian dancers started using the Zouk music. The Zouk dance (that was developed from the Lambada, a dance that has its origin in Porto Seguro, Bahia, Brazil) is a partner dance that is characterized by its wavy movements and is beautiful to watch and dance. Besides all of this, Zouk is also fun, is a good body exercise and it releases stress!
