The master class is set above the advanced level and is therefore aimed specifically at teachers from the local Zouk communities as well as experienced dancers of a very high level. To ensure this, you can APPLY for the masterclass. If more people register than capacity allows, we have to make a selection. We are currently creating a questionnaire and will get back to the applicants.
Please also note that we will close registration for the masterclass a little earlier, probably at the end of October/mid-November.
If you are a teacher in your community, we probably know you. 😉
Otherwise, write to us briefly: zfm-zoukdresden@gmx.de.
If you are not a teacher, write to us too. A recommendation from your teachers would be ideal to help us make the selection.
It is assumed that complex turns and all head movements are mastered safely and that you can quickly grasp more complicated sequences. If you have already regularly attended advanced workshops at various events and festivals and they were more easy than challenging, then you have come to the right place.
If you are unsure, please write to us.
If you think, “Yes, Advanced could be too much for me,” then we ask you not to apply and we look forward to you taking part in our Intermediate/Advance workshops. 😉
We have to reserve seats in the restaurant. If you have registered for the opening dinner and we have also reserved a seat for you, please remember that the restaurant is prepared for a certain number of guests. It is therefore important that you stick to the information you provided when registering. Unfortunately, in the past it has happened that participants have registered for social activities but then did not show up. And that is not good for the restaurant in question.
If you no longer know exactly which social activity you registered for shortly before the Zouk Family Meeting, please contact us again by email: ZFM-ZoukDresden@gmx.de. We will be happy to help you.
If you want to cancel your registration for a social activity, please let us know by email at least 2 weeks before the start. Thank you.

We are looking forward to our next Zouk Family Meeting! 🎶
Your organising team,
Robby, Ronny, Shija, Antje, Ilka, Lilly und Dana
This time our team consists of eight ZFM enthusiasts from the Dresden Zouk community who have taken on the organization with a lot of enthusiasm and attention to detail:
Ronny & Ilka: have organized the delicious Sunday brunch the last few times
Antje: has been active in the Dresden Zouk scene for a long time and is a communications professional
Robby: has experience in event organisation and is active in the Dresden ZOUK and UrbanKIZZ scene
Lilly: started her journey in Vancouver and has been passionate about Zouk dancing and teaching ever since
Shijia: a Zouk DJ in the team
Dana: organized the Zouk Family Meetings 2011 – 2019, together with Stephan
We are a great community in Dresden and do not see ourselves as competition to Stephan and Toni, who organized the last two ZFMs. Since we are all sometimes very busy or otherwise prevented from doing so in our “normal” lives, not everyone always has the capacity to organize a Zouk Family Meeting. By expanding the number of organization members, we can better cushion bottlenecks, enrich the Zouk scene with a lot of energy and ensure great events.
We are a safe space
Everyone should feel accepted and comfortable regardless of gender, sexuality, skin color, religion or ethnicity. We do not tolerate any form of discrimination, anti-semitism, racism, sexism or ableism.
Hate symbols and such like are not welcome. We also do not tolerate assaultive behavior, unwanted sexual advances, comments or other harassment.
Prices and refunds
The date of receipt of payment generally applies as the registration date and therefore the currently valid price level.
The pass can be transferred to another person until 4 December 2024 (the difference to the next price level must be paid). The participant is responsible for transferring the pass. The participant must provide the ZFM organisation team with the information of the new contact by email to zfm-zoukdresden@gmx.de.
The ticket price cannot be refunded.
Photos and Videos
During our event, our media team will take photos and videos for promotional purposes. Please let us know directly when you register (zfm-zoukdresden@gmx.de) or the photographer if you do not wish to be photographed or filmed.
