BZS Weekender 2026
LAMBADA SUMMER s with Ariel & Yasmim
In Zurich, August 21–23, 2026
We are very excited to welcome Ariel & Yasmim to Zurich for the first time!
Many of you already know Ariel from his past weekend workshops in Switzerland, which he taught together with Letícia. Now he’s coming to Zurich for the first time with Yasmim, bringing their joint workshop concept, “Zouk into Lambada.”
This weekend, Ariel & Yasmim will show you how to deepen the connection between Brazilian Zouk and Lambada and how to naturally integrate Lambada into your dancing. The focus is on discovering new movement qualities, dynamics, and musicality, and enriching your dancing with fresh inspiration.
We’re really looking forward to an inspiring weekend full of high-quality classes, positive energy, and unforgettable social events with you all!
And here’s a little preview with one of her latest demos:

Level
The workshops are designed for different skill levels and are open to all, as well as to Zouk dancers who want to try Lambada or improve their Lambada skills. The workshops are not suitable for beginners; therefore, a basic knowledge of Brazilian Zouk and/or Lambada is required.
For Zouk dancers who want to start learning Lambada, you should be familiar with basic steps, lateral movements, single turns, the Game of Soltinho, Jojo, and Boomerang, as well as head movements.
To advance to the Intermediate Lambada level, you must already be comfortable with the basic Lambada steps, lateral steps, single turns, the Game of Soltinho, outside turns, double turns, and Lambada head movements (Boneca/Piao)
This is how we ensure that all participants can benefit as much as possible at their respective levels and continue to develop during class.
