📍 Washington, DC | 🗓️ June 27 – July 2 | ⏳ 30+ hours of training If you teach Brazilian Zouk (or you're preparing to), this is a **deep, practical training** built for the real challenges of running classes and growing a community. DZPDW is designed for teachers and community leaders who want tools that work *in the real world* and wish to witness how a developed community is run on a daily basis. ### ✅ What makes DZPDW different **Everything we share is something we actively use in our progressive program, week after week.** These are **tools and systems tested in real classes, observed with real students, and continuously recalibrated** based on what actually improves learning, retention, and community growth. ## 🔧 What you'll train Expect a mix of **discussion + lecture-with-practice + hands-on classes**, plus the opportunity (in the Full Program) to **observe/participate in our regular progressive classes** so you can see the tools applied live. Topics include: * ⁠ How we teach the basics and foundations of Brazilian Zouk * Curriculum building + class planning (syllabus, progression, formats) * Attracting and retaining students + community building * Foundations, body movement training, variations, and demo/social dance training * Teaching methods + handling adversities (safety, consent, longevity, burnout) 🏆 Why District Zouk District Zouk has been growing the DMV Zouk community for **11+ years** and currently runs **13 classes/week (Mon–Thu)**—a unique offering in the USA. And the results are measurable: in 2025 alone we had **840+ attendees**, **5,300+ tickets sold**, **100+ students on average in progressive cycles**, and **85% attendance** in our progressive series. 📩 Ready to level up your teaching + your community systems?
