Gui Prada and the Masters of Social Dancing (MoSD)
Chapter 2: The Wielders of Comfort

A collaborative, RPG-inspired, and ever-evolving Brazilian Zouk training that shows you where you really are in your dance — not by how it looks, but by how it feels to your partners.

October 9 - 11th, 2026
** This event is specifically designed and curated for 24 couples and no more **
Please for love of Zouk: READ THIS WEBSITE TO UNDERSTAND HOW THIS WORKS

- Group Training - Join a Training Party - During MoSD, you'll join a Training Party of 3-5 couples - the cohort of people you'll train with throughout the entire training. Partner rotations will happen only within the Training Parties. The Parties will be organized based on participants' requests and level of experience, in this order.

After all the Training Parties are formed, the training begins. Each day of training focuses on one or more Traits, and each workshop covers the Foundations, Movements, and/or Skills related to developing the day's Trait. All Training Parties move together, learning the same content, at the same time and pace.

You will have the option of purchasing tickets in training parties you establish prior to the event. If you do not have a training party formed you may purchase a solo pass. Solo passes will be released one month prior to the event and one ticket at a time (1 lead / 1 follow). It is highly recommended to find a training partner / training party and purchase with them. In order to maintain a 24 couple curated event experience, tickets releases will be controlled. We are expecting this event to sell out - plan accordingly!
