“I really enjoyed the online classes and I think these classes were sometimes a little clearer than the instruction videos in terms of explaining the timing. The difficulty grade was also spot on. I also enjoyed the little jokes. Made me smile every time I watched the videos.”
“Kadu and Larissa are without a doubt two of the world’s best and most highly regarded Brazilian zouk and samba de gafieira dancers. I am proud to say, they are part of my dancing inspiration today. Go K&L!”
“I have been with Kadu and Larissa since they arrived in Australia and have loved them and their teaching techniques from day one. I always look forward to my classes because not only am I learning great Latin moves but because we always have fun too. If you are overseas check their instructional DVDs or online classes.”
“Estou aproveitando muito o módulo online classes for samba de gafieira. Acho que da forma que vocês estruturaram as aulas online ficou muito bom, fácil para aprender, explicações bem construtivas e as dicas que vocês dão me ajudam bastante. Obrigado Kadu e Larissa!”
“I am new to Brazilian zouk and I really enjoyed the classes Kadu and Larissa taught at the first ever Dubai zouk congress I was part of. I was able to follow their instruction even though I have never had any dance training. Thanks for sharing. I’m taking my first trip to Brazil and hope to put my new skills to good use.”
“Guys, you are amazing! Your workshops are so interesting and clear to understand that even the wooden man will start to dance! Your performance is the best Brazilian zouk show I’ve ever seen! Thank you once again for the job you have been doing in promotion of Brazilian zouk around the world!”
“Kadu and Larissa represent the new flavour of Latin dance in Brazil, with more and more people throughout the world loving their new style. Superior technique, creativity and professionalism are their brand. Keep up the exceptional job, guys!”
“K&L bring a special energy to every class that ensures everyone involved feels enthusiastic and happy about dance. Both teachers are able to give so many tips about both leading and following, styling and technique, which is always a bonus. When you join the classes at K&L Dance you really do feel like you are part of a close family of friends.”
“I’ve been dancing Brazilian zouk for over two years now and I love taking the K&L classes at K&L Dance. Learning with Kadu and Larissa is truly inspirational, the classes are always amazing, the music is perfect and the moves that we learn are beautiful. I feel really privileged to be taught by two of the most outstanding zouk instructors in the world.”
“I found the K&L Dance online classes to be extremely helpful. I love the simplicity and format you have for the online videos and I was able to learn a lot from it. Thanks for offering the online classes specially for dancers like me that don’t have the opportunity to learn from you on weekly basis.”
