07 May 2025
'Is Technique Ruining Your Dancing and Learning Joy?'In this provocative episode of Zouk Nerds, hosts Alisson Sandi and Gui Prada delve deep into the controversial topic of whether technique might be ruining your dance. They question the traditional emphasis on technical perfection versus the adaptability and feeling essential in social dancing. Key topics include distinguishing between precision and technicality, understanding the purpose of technique, and how technique can either enhance or hinder your dance progression. The episode explores quotes from influential figures like Isadora Duncan, Elliott Erwitt, and Bruce Lee, questioning if a rigid focus on technique could stifle creativity and connection. The hosts also provide vivid analogies and real-life examples, discuss the role of adaptability in dancing, and the importance of finding the organic feeling in movements rather than just executing them. Tune in to challenge your preconceived notions about dance technique and discover a more balanced approach to learning and teaching dance.
