We are so honoured to have the amazing Larissa Thayane on the show today - Known and respected as one of the most experienced and knowledgable Zouk artists in our community, and a constant force in pushing the boundaries within the dance. 

Not only an inspiration to all, she is a huge influencer in progressing and growing our dance throughout the world. She founded the Brazilian Zouk Dance Council (BZDC) in 2014, with the aim to support and promotes all aspects of Brazilian Zouk. 

We speak with her in depth about the future of Zouk, and how competitions (love them or hate them) is changing the scene as we know it...


Hosted by Pedrinho Mattos and Ricky Fox from the UKDC dance school in London, Let's Talk Zouk Podcast is a warm, informal conversation from the heart of the Brazilian Zouk scene. Each episode connects you directly with the people who shape this vibrant global dance community. You’ll hear from leading artists, influential teachers, talented DJs, and event organisers, as well as dedicated dancers who simply live for the music and movement. The discussions roam freely, covering their personal journeys, creative passions, the challenges within the scene, and the sheer joy that Zouk brings. It’s not just about technique; it’s about the stories, the laughter, and the shared experiences that bind this community together. The aim is to inspire, to answer questions from listeners, and to foster a sense of connection as the Zouk world continues to grow. Tune in for genuine, unfiltered chats that feel like pulling up a chair in a studio after a great class. This podcast offers a unique behind-the-scenes look at the culture, the personalities, and the ongoing global conversation that makes Brazilian Zouk so much more than just a dance.
