Brazilian Zouk × Fusion – The In-Between 2026 | October 17, 2026

17.10.2026 · Tanzhalle, Saal 3 · Markgrafenstr. 38 · 79115 Freiburg i. Br.

What happens when Brazilian Zouk and Fusion meet?

Two dance styles that leave room for freedom, responsiveness and exploration – both built around connection, musicality and co-creation. The In-Between is where these similarities meet, and where we explore what we can learn from each other and bring into our own dance.

Dana comes from the Fusion world, while David comes from Brazilian Zouk. Together, they open up the space in between the two styles, experimenting with elements, principles and ideas from both worlds. Maybe, by the end of the day, it will matter less which dance we are actually dancing.

What can you expect from this workshop day?

Here is a little teaser of what awaits you:

Part 1: Fusion into Brazilian Zouk

Tension. Power. Intensity.

13:00 - 14:30

We bring Fusion energy into Brazilian Zouk and explore tension, resistance and the intentional use of power – an element that is still relatively unexplored in Brazilian Zouk.

How much intensity can we embrace without losing connection? What happens when we stop avoiding tension and start playing with it?

Part 2: Brazilian Zouk into Fusion

15:15 - 16:45

Discovering and integrating Brazilian Zouk

We explore characteristic elements and movement principles from Brazilian Zouk and discover what they can bring to our Fusion dance.

Together, we will explore some of the unique and beautiful ways Brazilian Zouk moves through the body – and experiment with how these movements can find their way into Fusion.

The workshops can be attended by experienced Brazilian Zouk or Fusion dancers.

Meet the Teachers: Dana & David

Dana is a dance teacher from Innsbruck, Austria. She has been dancing Brazilian Zouk for over 6 years and Fusion for more than 5 years. She is currently also helping to build the Brazilian Zouk community in Innsbruck.

Social Dance

19:00 - 00:30

After the workshops, The In-Between continues with the Brazilian Zouk × Fusion Social. Dance what you have learned, try something new and move freely between Brazilian Zouk, Fusion – and everything in between.

The In-Between 2026 is organized and initiated for the first time in this format by the two non-profit organizations in Freiburg: Black Forest Fusion e.V. and Zoukarium e.V.
