Zouk with Salka & Charlie

Zouk with Salka & Charlie
As experienced social dancers, Salka and Charlie aim to help you understand the structure and principles of Brazilian Zouk, so you can become a technically skilled, fun and confident social dancer.
They love exploring the details of Zouk, breaking down techniques to focus on clear leading and following. With a sharp eye for detail and a passion for personal feedback, they aim to give individual tips and corrections whenever possible.
No matter your level, whether you are a passionate dancer wanting to improve your skills or a newcomer excited to start this beautiful journey, Salka and Charlie are dedicated to meeting you where you are and helping you grow.
Known for their supportive approach and attention to detail, they create a safe and positive environment where dancers can grow with confidence.
Dance Classes
Together with Charlie, I teach weekly Brazilian Zouk classes in Berlin — just a few minutes from Alexanderplatz (U Klosterstr.). These classes cover everything from the basics to advanced techniques: leading & following, body waves, isolations, and the flowing head movements that make Zouk so special.
You can join alone or with a partner. Changing partners during class helps improve connection and technique faster — while having fun and meeting new people. Everyone is welcome — from beginners to advanced dancers!
In addition to my regular Zouk classes, I offer special Solo Trainings in Berlin — each with a different focus and topic. These sessions are for all social dancers who want to work on their movement quality, coordination, body awareness and technique — without the need for a dance partner.
Solo Trainings focus on body isolations, head movements, footwork and musicality. The format is active and dynamic: expect lots of movement, clear exercises and little talking. Perfect to give your dancing new impulses and to improve control, balance and expression.
Looking for individual feedback or want to work on specific topics at your own pace?
You can book a private class with Salka in Berlin — tailored to your personal goals and needs.
Want to improve your technique, gain confidence, or dive deeper into your dance style?
Book a private class with Charlie in Berlin – focused, personal, and adapted to your level and learning style.
Every Tuesday during the warmer months, an open-level Zouk class takes place outdoors in Berlin — right by the river Spree near Paul-Löbe-Haus. You’ll learn essential social Zouk figures and combinations you can dance right away, no partner needed.
After class, the evening continues with a relaxed assisted practice: two hours to review, explore and get feedback. Salka is there to support you — whether you want to repeat moves, try something new or just dance with others.
