What Makes Bali Zouk Retreat So Very Special?

Feeling

Lost together with your dance people on an exotic, ethereal, tropical island. Found together in a shared love of movement, adventure, and new experiences.

Take a deep breath, close your eyes, and imagine.

Those moments in life where — having escaped the day-to-day grind of habitual loops — you suddenly feel more alive, aware, and present than you have for a long time.

Maybe even ever.

The door opens to that feeling from our Thursday welcome dinner right through to our final workshop on the Tuesday.

Want more than 5 days in that blessed state of existence? Extend your holiday around the retreat, and let the Island of the Gods show you.

Learning

Beyond the feeling, Bali Zouk Retreat stands out for learning due to its small class sizes and unrivalled access to our teachers.

It's no accident that we fly over a festival's worth of international teachers for a small retreat.

It's by design.

Because while big festivals are an amazing and important part of our dance lives, and the socials are second-to-none, the sprawling and packed classes often aren't the most ideal places to learn.

At Bali Zouk Retreat small classes are capped at 25-30 students, so dancers have exceptional access to personal instruction and feedback from our international teachers over the 5 days of progressive lessons.

Tickets are limited to a maximum of 90, and 3 classes will run in parallel teaching the same material. Teachers will rotate through all classes, ensuring students experience every teaching style and energy without having to plan it for themselves.

Connecting

In a group where everyone has chosen to be part of an exclusive, intimate, and unforgettable experience, an effortlessness in connecting emerges.

On the same journey of feeling and learning over five days, we truly become a dance family — eating, living, laughing and dancing together for a week.

Without the pressure of competitions and performances, students and internationals alike exist in a much more relaxed, open, and at-ease state.

Inclusivity

Bali Zouk Retreat is exclusive only in the sense it is designed to be a small, intimate group experience.

Once we're on the island together, inclusivity is what truly defines the retreat experience.

Imagine a VIP after-party at a festival — but where everyone's invited and it runs for 5 days — and you get Bali Zouk Retreat.

You end up sharing more than a few special moments, laughs and smiles with everyone, including our internationals.

Whether it's chatting over a tea, sharing a lunch together, or having a late-night beverage and deep and meaningful with new friends, there's something so very special about Bali Zouk Retreat.

Don't take our word for it though. Come find out for yourself.
