EVENT DETAILS
Are you ready for International Zouk Day 2026?! It's coming up fast on Saturday 19th September, and dance schools and teams around Brisbane, and Australia, and the world in fact 😀🌎, are busy planning their celebrations as well as training for the IZD FlashMob choreographies to be performed on the day.
So... last year's IZD was another super fun one with Brisbane showcasing our Zouk scene with many of the schools from Brisbane and the Gold Coast & Sunshine Coast coming together to promote Zouk, take part in the IZD Flashmob as well as joining in putting on public performances and social dancing during the day, then capping it all off with our IZD Celebration Zouk Party! 🎈
We will be doing it all again with the help of YOU and all the schools which get out there day in and day out to teach, promote and enjoy this beautiful dance style. ❤

training will commence on the Wed, 11TH August for 6 weeks!
So, the training sessions will take place over 1hr 15 min sessions for 6 weeks.
