Cloud9Zouk Mid Year Ball 2023, what a beautiful weekend! 💃🕺🌟❣

We'd love to thank you everyone for your amazing support, beautiful smiles, energy & hugs, for the little chats and conversations on the weekend, for the kind words of encouragement & gratitude..... We loved every moment of it. ❣

A big shout out and gratitude to our wonderful Internationals, Nina & Matheus, and to our Local and National artists for adding so much value to our event. Whether they were taking part in teaching workshops or not this time, we were so lucky to host many of our national artists on the weekend.✨💃🕺🤗🙏

We have received so much awesome feedback about how much our dancers loved every workshop and the friendly feel of being able to have great dances with our artists on the weekend. ❤

Thank you 🙏, thank you 🙏, DJ's! For keeping the parties going and taking us through a journey on the dance floor. You guys are awesome. 🤗🌟 - DJ Matheus, AJELLA Zouk (Hel & Aanand), DJ Grevo Official (Matthew), DJ Panda (Jimmy), DJ Elvis, DJ Pasindu, DJ Tayler, DJ Jeff, DJ Alexy, DJ Devv, DJ Double B (Behrouz) ❤

Also, for our special competition this year, a thankyou to all of our wonderful Instructors who were keen and put their hand up to Judges on the weekend. We are grateful for your extra energy and care in being there for us and the competitors. 🙏

An extra special appreciation and acknowledgment to Kylie for helping us to organise and run the competition. ❣️❣️

As well, a special thanks to our prize sponsors, Casa do Zouk ✨✨ and Brisbane Zouk Festival. ✨✨

Thank you to all our brave and awesome competitors for taking part in our new idea and hope you learn something from it and had a blast doing it 🏆🏆🏆 (Separate post coming soon 🥳)

To all the Championship routines and Performers, we so appreciate every one of you coming to entertain the crowd to add that extra special and inspiring segment of the night and to make people smile and enjoy your performances. You all did such a wonderful job. ✨🌟 👏

Also, a quick shout out to our dynamic MC Matthew for jumping in to rev the crowd up, 🤩🌟 as well as to Izzy & Steve on the Saturday with their crowd participation 🤩🌟

We'd love to give a special thanks to our own performance team as well for their dedication in training, and for their wonderful teamwork. 🤗 We loved working with you and are very proud and happy about the end results on the night. 👏💖🤗

Our massive appreciation to our Photographer, Bob McGahan, and Videographers, Roman Balìtskiy & Bryan Jeremias Llaneza, for capturing those special memories for us all to look back on. 💖

Also, a special note of thanks to Cassandra the Chiro for making the effort to set up onsite and for being available with her wonderful chiropractic and healing treatments.👐💖

To our beautiful volunteers; Matty (extra awesome man✨🕺), Tina Maree, Bee, Farina, Jaqueline, Nasim, Camille, Doug - we relied on you to look after things, and without your friendly selves greeting our attendees, your contributions in helping with everything throughout, as well as the set up & packing up, we just wouldn't be able to bring our event to you all! 🌟🙏

✨Buddy pass - a thank you to the wonderful Leaders who contacted us to put their names up as 'Buddies' so that we could match them with a Follower. 🙏 This is our 3rd year that we brought the buddy pass to our events and we just saw how it worked wonders on the weekend with a pretty near perfect ratios of Leaders to Followers, ensuring everyone have an amazing time at the workshops and parties.

We apologise if that caused a bit of stress to our lovely Followers but we believe it's essential and benefits everyone. Thank you for your understanding and again to all the 'Dance Buddies' for their flexibility and consideration of our Leaders and Followers in being matched. ❣️

Weekends like this just bring to us a continuous reminder of how grateful we are for our wonderful community of dancers, artists, DJs and just every one of you who is a part of it all ❤. We appreciate you all so much for your support and for your beautiful energy! 🙂🙂

Let's keep smiling as we look back on the weekend, and look forward in anticipation of bringing everyone together again (but with a different kind of special 💖), at Brisbane Zouk Festival in November 🕺💃🥳

THANK YOU

✨💖✨❤️🙏

Big Love & Our Hugs ❤ 🤗
