We get it—traveling to a new city to dance your heart out is exciting but also comes with a few questions! Here’s everything you need to know about staying at Zouk House:

1. What’s the vibe like at Zouk House?
Think of it as a dancer’s paradise meets a cozy home-away-from-home. You’ll be surrounded by passionate, like-minded people who love Zouk as much as you do. Expect lots of laughs, shared meals, coffee & tea, and of course, epic dance stories.

2. Do I have to come with a group, or can I come solo?
Come solo, with a partner, or your whole crew—it doesn’t matter! Many of our guests come alone and leave with a whole new dance family.

3. How close are you to Zouk events and socials?
We’re perfectly located for you to get to the best Zouk spots in São Paulo. Dance socials happen every night, and transportation options make it easy to hit them all. We are about a 10 - 25 min Uber ride from every social (please remember Sao Paulo is a HUGE city).

4. What’s included with my stay?
You’ll get a comfy bed in a beautiful communal home, a fully equipped kitchen, access to our Zouk House dance studio, and access to shared spaces for relaxing or even practicing your moves. Plus, priceless memories and new friendships—those are guaranteed.

7. How long can I stay?
Stay for a few days or a few months—whatever works for your travel and training plans. Just book early to snag your spot during peak times like Gringo Season. If you would like to stay more then 1 month, please note that we always due a "trial month" first before committing to longer stays to ensure Zouk House is the right fit for you :)

8. What should I pack?
Your dance shoes, comfy clothes for socials, and maybe an extra towel (trust us, you’ll sweat!). São Paulo’s weather can be unpredictable, so pack layers too.

11. Is São Paulo safe to travel to?
São Paulo is an exciting city, but street smarts are key. Keep an eye on your belongings, especially your phone. Wait for your Uber indoors, double-check the driver and route, and avoid flashing valuables in public. Safety first, party second!

12. How do I get around?
Uber is your best friend—affordable, reliable, and widely used. Feeling adventurous? The metro is a steal at R$5 (about $1 USD). Just stay aware, stash your phone securely, and wear your backpack in the front on public transport. It’s the savvy traveler move!
