Sol Zouk • San Diego, California

At 𝕊𝕠𝕝 ℤ𝕠𝕦𝕜 𝕊𝕒𝕟 𝔻𝕚𝕖𝕘𝕠, dance class is so much more than just learning moves. 💃🏻🕺🏾 We ended class yesterday with some Axé, which always puts the biggest smiles on everyone’s faces! 😄

🇧🇷 Axé is a high-energy Brazilian dance often enjoyed at parties and celebrations. The style grew alongside Axé music in Bahia in the 1980s, drawing from Afro-Brazilian rhythms and traditions, samba-reggae, frevo, and other Brazilian influences.

We love getting to experience Brazilian culture beyond Zouk and learn more about the music, dances, and traditions that make it so special. ✨

Thank you Walter & Larissa for sharing a piece of your culture with us!! 🥰
