Zouk Teacher and DJ

“I’m born to Zouk”  I dance since I’ve been in my mother’s belly: The day I was born, my mother danced to Kaoma Lambada song (Zouk is the successor of Lambada), at the time the song was over she went to the hospital were I was born.
I dance since I can remember, I’ve always loved music and dance,  at first I did it alone in my room without anyone seeing me. Seriously I started dancing  in 2008 when I went to ballroom and Latin dances, then I loved Argentine tango and from 2011 I was very attracted to West Coast Swing and Zouk, chasing many films with these just on youtube, because they were not known in Romania. I started Zouk in 2014 at WestZoukTime festival in Brno, where I realized that this dance is not only pleasant to look at, but this style offers a very enjoyable feeling while you dance it. I would say that of all dance-styles that we’ve tried so far, zouk-style is the most complex and is my most loved dance.
While dancing I’m another person,  in those four minutes of a song I can be anyone, I’m trying to outline a story with my partner based on the song we dance, I could say dance gives me freedom.
Dancing changed my life, before going to dances I was very shy and emotional, I fear to speak even when there were only two or three people, now is not only that we managed to overcome the fear of speaking, but I got to teach, and I love it.
