**Taiwan Leaders Intensive Training with Gui Prada**

In Brazilian Zouk communities, there are often more followers than leaders, and followers tend to develop faster. This training, led by Gui Prada, addresses these challenges by focusing on key issues: perceptions of what makes a “good leader” and the slower initial learning curve for leaders.

**Key Issues**:
1. **Perceptions of a Good Leader**: Many leaders start learning Brazilian Zouk as adults with no dance background, leading to self-doubt and a reliance on shortcuts instead of foundational skills.
2. **Slower Learning Curve**: Followers experience more variety in movements early on, while leaders often feel stuck with a limited repertoire, impacting their confidence.

**Adaptation**: An essential skill in social dancing, involving mastering various elements to create a smooth dance experience.

**Training Overview**:
– **Who It’s For**: Those committed to improving social dancing skills, not for newcomers.
– **Schedule**: 16 hours over two days, including instruction, breaks, and practice.
– **Saturday**: Fundamentals review and musicality (leaders only).
– **Sunday**: Fine-tuning with followers, focusing on touch, connection, and energy management.

**Outcome**: Enhanced leader growth through immediate feedback and diverse following experiences, benefiting both leaders and followers in their dance journey.

台灣領舞者密集訓練/Gui Prada

在巴西 Zouk 社區中，通常有更多的跟舞者而非領舞者，而且跟舞者的發展速度更快。由 Gui Prada 主導的這次訓練針對這些挑戰，重點關注成為“好領舞者”的認知和領舞者較慢的初期學習曲線。

主要問題：

好領舞者的認知：許多領舞者在成年後才開始學習巴西 Zouk，沒有舞蹈背景，這導致自我懷疑並依賴捷徑而不是基礎技能。

較慢的學習曲線：跟舞者在學習初期經歷了更多不同的動作，而領舞者通常會感覺到自己掌握的動作有限，這影響了他們的自信心。

適應性：社交舞蹈中一項重要技能，涉及掌握各種元素以創造順暢的舞蹈體驗。

訓練概述：

適合對象：致力於提升社交舞技的學員，不適合新人。

時間表：為期兩天，共 16 小時，包括教學、休息和練習。

星期六：基礎回顧和音樂性（僅限領舞者）。

星期天：與跟舞者一起進行調整，重點關注觸覺、連接和能量管理。

結果：通過即時反饋和多樣的追隨體驗，提升領舞者的成長，讓領舞者和跟舞者在舞蹈旅程中受益。
