Zouk Fire Fridays introduces a new monthly Zouk and Lambada social to the DC metro area from the creators of the Zouk Heat Festival. Built around both lively and relaxed vibes inspired by the festival’s Fire Room and Chill Room, it offers space to connect, move, and enjoy the music at a comfortable pace. Each edition brings a featured instructor, thoughtfully crafted music sets, and a welcoming dance floor shaped by the Zouk Heat team. The evening starts with a class, then transitions into social dancing. It takes place at Inspira Dance inside Ballston Quarter. The venue is metro accessible through a covered tunnel and is surrounded by many restaurants and bars for pre social meetups. Parking is available on nearby streets at no cost, or in the Ballston garage where payment is made upon arrival. Parking on level G3 is recommended, and rates are $1 for the first three hours, $3 for four hours, and $5 for five hours. This is planned as a recurring monthly social that may run one to two times per month. Ticket information will be announced soon.
