Zouk Comes to Bonaire’s Bon Bida Spa and Gym
Zouk is a style of rhythmic music originating from the French Caribbean islands, mainly from Guadeloupe and Martinique. Zouk means “party” or “festival” in the local French Creole spoken on these islands. And now, it comes to Bonaire with a new class which will teach how to dance to this favorite Caribbean rhythm.
Popular salsa instructor, Roy Franklin, will be teaching this four-week course which begins this Monday evening, July 11, 2011, at 8:00 PM. Each of the four classes will go for one hour and will be held in the classroom at Bon Bida Spa & Gym, located just north of the traffic rotary on Kaya Gobernador N. Debrot. Each class will build on the dance steps learned the week prior, so those interested must begin with the first class on Monday evening. The course is $40.00, but those who are enrolled in a salsa class for the same timeframe can enjoy a 50% discount on their second course.
The instructor, Roy, was the pioneer teacher of this style of dance in Holland during the 1990s, but he’s now on Bonaire and adding to his repertoire of dance styles that he teaches. Zouk is a sensual dance for couples, but those without dance partners may still enjoy the class, as there are many with whom to dance. For more information, or to register, call 717-7224.
