What are The names of the Beginner Moves and patterns for Brazilian Zouk?
Question by User maoMeow14
I’m fairly new to this and was trying to make a list of the different beginners moves so I can remember their names and hopefully their actions by doing so. Can anyone point me to a list if not start one here?

- Basic (passo basico)
- Lateral
- Viraginha
- Yo-yo
- Bonus
- Lunge
- Raul (elastico)
- Combre
These are the beginner-ish ones that I know are taught early on, there are some other non-named ones like bodyrolls, weight-transfer and body isolations
More complex moves would be:
- Aeroplane
— Boneca
— Counterbalances
— RotisserieProtip: if you’re ever off time, body roll once in the middle of a basic/lateral/whatever and then continue on the next slow-beat and you’ll be back on time.
Combre is a generic term where the ladies extend all the way backwards into a dip, smaller and controlled for beginners, and something with more flourish in intermediate.

Basic, lateral, alternating turns, bonus, chicote, cambré(so?), boneca, viraginha(sp?).., for starters.
I am not a teacher; those are just some things off the top of my head, and I wanted to respond since no one else has.

You got it right, those are the main move names. There is a good channel Zouk Germany I’d like to share that in addition to having move names also shows how the moves are made with proper technique https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCN1HHBlxByX8Doqy0Jv5LUw/
