David Kay – Teacher & Founder
💫 Founder & ZOUK Teacher at ZOUK Malmö Dance School

David’s journey with Brazilian Zouk is rooted in a deep desire to explore and share the dance as a space for connection, presence, and energy flow. With a background as a DJ in Europe’s club scene and over a decade of experience on the dance floor, he brings both musicality and emotional nuance into every movement. His dance repertoire also includes salsa and bachata, which complement and enrich his style.

🌀 Dance from Within – Embodied Connection
For David, dance is more than choreography — it’s a living dialogue between two people, spoken through breath, touch, and intention. His teaching focuses on cultivating that subtle communication, where both partners stay grounded in themselves while opening fully to the other.

In his classes, you don’t just learn steps. You learn to listen with your body. To feel, offer your weight, your presence, your energy — and to meet another without losing your own center. He believes that dance, at its core, is a way of meeting ourselves through the shared experience with another.

In 2011, David founded ZOUK Malmö with the vision of helping people discover the transformative feeling that Zouk can awaken. Drawing inspiration from modern dance and contact improvisation, he developed a teaching approach where Zouk technique enhances expression, not just in Zouk but also in salsa and bachata. Through energy, flow, and connection, he helps dancers go beyond movement into something more felt and real.

David is a certified ZOUK teacher and one of the few in the Nordic region actively sharing this evolving and expressive dance form. He has performed and taught internationally, including at some of the world’s most renowned ZOUK congresses.
