Jean Goh is the pioneer of the Brazilian Zouk scene in Singapore and is the head honcho at the Zouk Dance Academy Singapore. She has been providing instruction in Brazilian Zouk since 2008, and is lauded by internationally renowned Zouk artistes for creating dancers that are strong in their fundamentals and delightful to dance with. Besides being a Brazilian Zouk instructor, she is also well known for DJing and for her Zouk remixes. Her DJ moniker is “DJ Yen”.
Jean’s dance style (as a lead) is a blend of a variety of Zouk styles, with elements of Rio-Zouk, LambaZouk, Brenda-Anderson style Zouk, and more. She loves combining concepts and elements from different styles of Zouk, and her current focus is on using the principles of elasticity and impulse to create energy flow between dancers. Her dance is guided by the co-creation principle of SoulZouk (by “China” SoulZouk), where dancers are always present and “dance in the moment”. Being of small stature, Jean often encounters followers of similar size or bigger. She has developed leading techniques that are effective without using much strength or force – a skill she imparts to all her students. Jean is renowned for creating dancers that are unique, wonderfully comfortable to dance with, and very musical.
