FAQ
Q: What is APAC?
A: APAC stands for Asia Pacific and generally refers to the countries of East Asia bordering the Pacifc as well as Oceania (Australia & New Zealand)
Q: What is the purpose of this page?
A: APAC Zouk is a directory of Brazilian Zouk teachers, studios, and event organizers in the APAC region. Most of this information is already available on social media somewhere, but many people traveling around Asia and Oceania don’t know where to find the organizers in other countries. Having the information all in one place makes it easier for dancers to find Zouk wherever they’re going.
Q: How do I use this site to find dance events/classes/parties?
A: Click on Events to search for events by date or country. The events are synced from the APAC Zouk- Brazilian Zouk Events in Asia Pacific (EVENTS ONLY) Facebook Group. Click on Organizers to find teachers/studios/organizers by country and see their profile and social media/website/contact info.
Q: How do I list myself as an organizer/studio?
A: First, register as an organizer. A site admin will review your information and contact you if necessary. After we’ve verified you, we’ll enable your account and your organization’s info will be listed.
Q: Who can register as an organizer?

Q: How do I list an event?

Q: What if I don’t use Facebook to post events?
A: At this time, we only show events that are listed on Facebook because that is the easiest way to get people to share events.
