Chicote

What is Chicote in Brazilian Zouk?

Chicote is a dynamic Brazilian Zouk movement pattern that creates a whip-like visual effect through prepared, connected changes of direction.

Despite the name, the movement should never be abrupt or imposed on the neck. Safe execution requires progressive instruction, controlled momentum, clear communication, and respect for the follower’s range of motion.
