- August 8 – 9, 2026
- Venue
- Kultursalen på Vitalitetssenteret · Wolffs gate 12, 5006 Bergen
A weekend with Kristin Vambeset, five workshops, and social dancing on Saturday and Sunday.
Instructor
Kristin Vambeset
Kristin Vambeset is a dancer and teacher with more than 20 years of experience. In her classes, the focus is on building a strong foundation in movement, connection, and musicality.
At the same time, the atmosphere in her classes is just as important as the technique. Kristin is known for creating a clear, supportive, and inspiring learning environment where dancers feel safe to explore, try new things, and grow in their own dance.
During the weekend she will guide you from fundamental structure and connection into creativity, musicality, and flow. Helping you develop tools you can continue to use on the social dance floor.
Programme
Saturday, August 8
Doors open
Arrival, check-in, and setup before the first workshop.
The Brazilian Zouk Feeling: Weight, Flow & ConnectionWorkshop 1
Discover the quality of presence that makes Zouk feel like Zouk. Through weight transfer, use of the floor, elasticity and connection, we'll explore how simple movements can become more fluid, grounded and alive - creating the foundation for the movement quality that makes Brazilian Zouk unique.
Cambré, Waves & Body MovementWorkshop 2
Explore the foundations of cambré, waves and body movement in Brazilian Zouk. We'll work on technique, coordination and movement pathways to create more flow, expression and confidence in your dancing.
Head Movement FundamentalsWorkshop 3 · Preparty/Open Level
A solo workshop for both leaders and followers focusing on safe, comfortable and accessible head movement technique. Learn the foundations that will help you develop head movements with greater confidence, control and ease.
Social
Music for Brazilian Zouk, Sensual Bachata, Kizomba, and Urban Kiz. Zouk and Kizomba share a lot of music, and we mix tempos and genres to give room for all styles.
Sunday, August 9
Soltinho: Flow & PossibilitiesWorkshop 4
Discover how Soltinho creates flow, direction and new possibilities in your dancing. We'll explore how this fundamental Zouk structure can help you move more freely while maintaining connection and communication with your partner.
Head Movement in PartnerworkWorkshop 5
Building on the Head Movement Fundamentals workshop, we explore how to integrate head movement naturally and comfortably into partnerwork. Learn how technique, timing and connection work together to create more flow and expression in the dance.
Social
Music for Brazilian Zouk, Sensual Bachata, Kizomba, and Urban Kiz. A relaxed close to the weekend with time to dance, practice, and settle what we have worked on.
