Dance Teacher VS Community Builder – What's the Difference?

In this episode, Alisson Sandi and Gui Prada dissect the roles of Community Leader and Dance Teacher, exploring how their combined efforts drive Zouk community growth. They emphasize that you don't need to be an elite dancer to build a thriving scene.

The hosts highlight the "ongoingness" and emotional labor of community building, often started out of necessity. They contrast this with teaching's demands, and the importance of outsourcing tasks and recognizing individual strengths.

The episode also serves as a heartfelt plea: be kind and appreciative to your local Zouk teachers and organizers. Many operate in their limited free time, fueled by passion. Their efforts, often unseen, are vital for a healthy, growing community for everyone!
