Zouk in France

Discover Zouk dancing events across 3 cities in France

Zouk in France is a small scene built around Paris. The capital hosts most of the country's 9 weekly socials, with a couple more near Bordeaux in Pessac and one in Lyon. Wednesday is the strongest night, and Friday and Sunday also carry events, so you can dance across the week. Zouk stays niche next to the bigger French styles: bachata, salsa and kizomba all run many more weekly socials in the same cities. Because the community is small, dancers mix and floors are friendly to newcomers, and coming alone is normal. If you have one week, base yourself in Paris, then check the festival calendar below for larger weekend events.
