The Source OC (3rd Floor, right outside the cinema)

A monthly Brazilian Zouk social tucked into The Source shopping mall: Zouk OC runs a free meetup every 2nd Friday on the third floor right outside the cinema. The event is advertised as “no class, no pressure” social; you'll find an open common area rather than a ballroom, and the Lambada pratica run by Adarsh and Zoe often runs beside the social.

Expect a compact, community crowd and DJ-curated Zouk sets that swing from slow, lyrical tracks to bass-heavy numbers. Bring shoes that work on tile/concrete and be ready for interruptions from the mall (doors, passersby, cinema traffic); food and plenty of parking are steps away. If you want a big congress-style night with a polished wooden floor and a pro sound system, this isn't it — it's a low-cost way to meet locals and practice social Zouk. Arrive early to claim floor space.
