International Zouk Day 2022 week 2 practice
3As discussed previously, I signed up to do the International Zouk Day flash mob in Brisbane, in the middle of queen street. We will be performing on the 17th of September, which is the third Saturday of September. It is the 11th time that international zouk day has been celebrated around the world, which is a bit scary for me because it didn't seem that long ago when I first heard about it, but it is 11 years ago.
I hadn't danced Zouk for a while so initially I wasn't too sure about my ability to actually do this routine. But after 2 training sessions I think I am picking it up. We have a one hour per week training for six weeks and then it's the big day performing in front of a huge crowd in the middle of Brisbane. You can see compared to the first video, we have added quite a few new moves.
I guess what I find difficult is towards the end the footwork is quite complex. I couldn't match it up with the music very well so I'm just stepping without worrying too much about it. I also find it quite hard to turn the follower under my elbow because I have been dealing with a shoulder injury for a while. Either way, you probably wouldn't have noticed if I didn't point it out :) Enjoy the video!
