ZOUK:FREI
Daytime Zouk Festival Switzerland — three days of Brazilian Zouk with workshops, live music, Bring-&-Share dinner and community in Frenkendorf.
More Connection than Stage
The Daytime Zouk Festival Switzerland sees itself as a place of connection, not as a classic party festival. As a non-profit event of the charitable association Frei:Raum, our goal is to promote Brazilian Zouk in Switzerland and bring people together through dance – community at the centre, not profit.
“Rewrite the Day” – rewrite your festival experience.
Our workshops are taught by local dance teachers who hold the space with mindfulness and clarity. The workshops are open or progressively structured so that everyone can learn and grow together.
Live music with piano, handpan, violin and harp, communal dancing and the Bring-&-Share dinner create a warm, open atmosphere. Exchange formats and quiet moments make the festival a holistic experience – not only on the dance floor.
The conscious day-festival concept allows time for rest, conversation and integration instead of dancing through the night – open to everyone who understands dance as connection and shared experience.

Pay what feels right for you
The first 20 tickets are available at a reduced Early Bird price, after which prices increase gradually each month. We consciously work with staggered pricing so that as many people as possible can take part – you choose the price that fits your current situation, and in doing so help others to be part of the experience as well.
This creates a festival that is carried by the community: open, solidaric and accessible to everyone.
Full Pass
Valid for all three days including workshops, live music and Bring-&-Share dinner.
