Together, We’ve Done It Again! 🎉💃✨
What an incredible way to close out 2024! Our final party of the year was a joyous celebration of love, community, and dancing. Thank you all for making it such a special event! 🎈🥳
A massive *THANK YOU* to our amazing Brisbane Zouk dancers who joined us for the Christmas party last Saturday. Your generosity truly shined! 💖
Special thanks to those who brought gifts for families in need—your contributions helped gather an incredible collection for the *Salvation Army's Christmas Appeal*. These gifts have been lovingly placed under the *Kmart Wishing Tree*, ready to brighten the holidays for many. 🎄🎁 If you’d still like to contribute, visit your nearest Kmart store.

Also earlier this year we created so much love as part of our charity event: Dancing for a Cause Supporting Brazil ❤️
Our Zouk Sundays party was more than just dancing—it was an opportunity to make a difference. Thanks to your enthusiasm and generosity, we raised *$1,500 AUD* to support our brothers and sisters affected by the recent flooding disaster in Brazil's state of Rio Grande do Sul.
This donation will be transferred to the CASA charity organization in Australia, which works directly with teams in Brazil to ensure the funds reach those who need it most.
To everyone who danced, donated, or supported in spirit—thank you for standing with us for this important cause. ❤
Special thanks to our amazing volunteers and talented DJs who made the night unforgettable. 🌻 If you weren’t able to join us but would like to support, donations can still be made directly to CASA at [acasa.org.au](https://acasa.org.au).
