What is RAD (Ryel ART Dance method)?
Since 2023, after more than 11 years of international and national experience, Ry’el has embarked on a new chapter as a solo artist. His focus is on empowering local instructors, community builders, and dance scenes with limited access to LambaZouk through his LAMBAZOUK EXPRESS Weekender.
Based in Colorado, Ry’el now supports communities across the U.S., spreading the joy of movement through his newest project:
The RAD Method for LambaZouk
This method offers an accessible stepping stone for newcomers to Brazilian Zouk and Lambada, while also providing seasoned dancers with tools to explore the synergies between the two dances.
With training in ballet, contemporary, modern dance, ballroom, and salsa prior to LambaZouk, Ry’el’s diverse background has enriched his dance vocabulary. This experience enables him to break down and share the beauty of LambaZouk in clear, simple ways that are welcoming to dancers of all levels and ages.
The R.A.D (Ry'el ART Dance) Method for Lambazouk is built on three core concepts, which he has developed over the past decade
Dance Calligraphy (2023), Lambazouk Dimensions (2018), and Zenzouk Colors (2013).
Each module integrates movement with visual, auditory, and kinesthetic elements, offering a comprehensive curriculum that accommodates diverse learning styles. Ry’el’s approach makes learning LambaZouk dynamic and engaging, helping dancers grow in their own unique ways.
