Concept & program

Read here what you can expect to experience during Castle of Miracles.

4 beautiful Easter days…

Friday 7^th until Tuesday 11^th of April 2023

Our vision:

Castle of Miracles is a Brazilian Zouk retreat and marathon. The location is a, specially for this event, all rented-off castle + grounds. All participants join for the whole weekend (4 days), which will make this event into a strong group experience. You can choose from several ticket options, giving you the possibility to join a journey of inspiring workshops (learning retreat) or only dream away in a mesmerizing time dancing (Zouk marathon). NEW: we also have an in-between option: the hybrid pass.

1^st part of the program are the day workshops during which we will have plenty of space for about 150 people. It is designed in such a way that everybody will have a great time learning and enjoying the program. Therefore these workshops will be in sequence with everybody together, not parallel / multiple rooms. You don’t need to choose and you can share the whole learning journey with the whole group.

2^nd part, the evening workshops, will offer more variety of styles and teachers in multiple rooms. You will be able to follow 2 hours per day, to be picked from a schedule with multiple rooms. The focus will be more on technical Zouk aspects.

3^rd, but not the least, are the day socials and night parties (included in all tickets). These make it posible to find yourself in a dreamy Zouk marathon for at least 4 days! For this we have booked some of the top Zouk DJ’s from all over the world.

Day workshops

15 hours (in total) on Saturday, Sunday & Monday

We have amazing teachers to take you on a journey of learning. They will cooperate to make the program a very special combination of insights.

Day socials

14:00 – 22:00 on Saturday, Sunday & Monday.

During afternoon and early evening we will host some cosy socials in a separate room. Perfect to chill out as a break or just in the cycle ‘dance-sleep-dance’.

Evening workshops

6 hours (in total) on Saturday, Sunday & Monday

Some very great technical Zouk teachers will give you super workshops. We selected some different but best-in-class styles which offer you new experiences.

Night parties

22:00 – 03:00+ on Friday, Saturday, Sunday & Monday.

We will make the night parties into a mesmerizing experience, with some of the best Zouk DJ‘s of the planet. But without extensive shows/competitions.

In between

Spend your free time, take a breathe or recharge….

If you disocver what’s in & around our venue, you would probably not mind if the Zouk was less. Enough space to sit, relax and enjoy nature!

Topics & contents

During the workshops and at the event in general the following are key aspects:

Zouk techniques
Connection (dance & transcendence)
Reflections & new insights
Intention & consent in dance

Parties will not be interrupted with longs show blocks and we will not organise competitions. We want to let you focus on your own reason to dance.
