"I can’t recommend this program highly enough. What sets Christina apart from other instructors is her acute attention to detail and ability to convey complex information in a way that even beginners, such as myself, can understand. I have better control over my body and weight when I dance, and I continually pick up new information each time I re-watch her videos. It’s reassuring to know that there’s a guide to grace; that the flowing movement of Zouk can be broken down into understandable instruction with incredible accuracy. Christina shares a wealth of knowledge in bite sized pieces (and in heels)."

"As someone who is usually at a dance class most days of the week, I was a little lost when lockdown first hit - until I realized moving online had opened up access to schools and artists all over the world. 

I love the way Christina breaks down each movement in so much detail, without assuming anything is obvious. I dance multiple styles so having a really in depth breakdown has really helped fill in some of the gaps and questions I had about zouk. There is so much content crammed into every lesson and being able to access the videos to refer to later makes practicing so easy! Love it!"

"As a follower who often trains solo, I find having regular instructor feedback to be critical for helping to address weaknesses I wouldn’t necessarily catch myself. When this program was released I didn’t hesitate for a second because when it comes to follower technique and attention to detail, Christina is simply a goddess. I highly suggest taking advantage of the personal feedback signup option, particularly if you are brand new to Brazilian Zouk or an experienced follower looking to take your technique to the next level. If you have never trained solo before, prepare to have your mind blown with new information!"

"If you want the prettiest feet in all the Zouk Lands, take this course! Christina’s precision and control are what drew me to her classes initially, and in this course she gives you the tools to get there for yourself. The courses are efficiently presented with a good balance of practice and theory. Can’t recommend enough!"

"I liked that I learned so much more about fundamentals, because it made me realize that there was more than what I currently knew at the time. I liked that Christina broke up the material in easily digestible pieces and had us practice it a few times before moving on. I didn't know footwork fundamentals could be so fun yet challenging!"

"Christina and the Zouk Babes videos are amazing!! These are great for beginners and improvers alike, and adds flair and style to your dance as well as helps you focus on what makes your fundamentals clean. Since taking this course, my steps have become more stream-lined and polished. I have watched several videos over again, practiced with others, and will certainly continue to go back to the content!"

"Christina’s footwork fundamentals course helped me improve my overall dance technique in addition to Zouk follow footwork technique.  She has organized, clear video lessons where she demonstrates the movements and breaks them down into smaller parts.  In addition, the way she edits her videos has been really helpful for remembering and reinforcing techniques, which is invaluable for learning.  I also highly recommend taking personal feedback sessions from her, as she is very detail-oriented and truly cares about helping her students improve.  I would definitely take more courses from Christina in the future!"

"5 stars (obviously) I've been a massive fan of Christina, her powerful style and flawless technique for a couple of years now, and my admiration for her dancing escalated even more after seeing her perform and teach at Brazouky in 2019. Since she's based in the US, Brazouky (an annual Brazilian Dance festival in Melbourne) has been the only place for me to learn from her. Or it was, since her Dive Deep Followers Technique Course came along in April. I immediately jumped on board and started learning online from her. The course is very detailed and comprehensive, the videos explain every topic in depth, often mentioning details that are missed during a regular class or are only available during private classes. Her style of teaching is very personal and relatable, but also structured, which makes it easier to follow along, practice and work towards a specific goal. You also feel like you're a part of an awesome zouk community! Highly recommend her course for every follower that wants to improve their technique, footwork, body awareness and flow while practicing at their own pace and seeing results!

"I'm so grateful to have found Christina Montoya's online classes. I have been dancing zouk for 4 years, but never had such a clear breakdown before. She builds technique layer by layer, starting with walks and weight transfers. I feel like this foundations class will transform my dancing in every style, because I'm learning how to move consciously. I've trained in many dance styles, and the more capacity your body has, the more free you are to express, create, connect and be musical. Christina's focus on technique is giving me that freedom. Also, Christina always talks in a very positive, encouraging way. Classes with her leave you feeling both feminine and empowered."
