Interesting fusion between tango and zouk. I heard swouk = WCS + Zouk. What should they call it tanouk?

You can do a fusion of dances if you can dance both well. You don’t need a workshop for that. Those who attend this kind of workshops usually can’t dance their primary dance well and the other dance is completely unknown to them.

Zouk leaders hardly move their legs. And as you rightly pointed out it is an upper body danced in in a spot. Yes I know spot moves but it is as much a stationary dance as bachata.

I think of same thing of nuevo/neo tango, I really like the concept of it but I think one needs to be really good at base tango before diving into it otherwise the quality of the movement just isn’t there.

It’s like if someone’s trying to make some japanese-mexican fusion restaurant. If the chef is an expert at atleast one of those cuisines it can maybe work, but usually those types of restaurants the chef is good at neither.

I can only partially confirm this. I took a beginners course in zouk when tango was banned during the lockdown.
All the participants were excellent dancers: 60% were westies, the rest came from ballroom, salsa, forró or bachata. I was the only tango dancer. But everyone was good at their primary discipline and everyone wanted to learn the body rolls and waves to spice up their own repertoire, not to dance pure zouk.

Soltadas are quite common these days, but they're essentially fusion and work considerably better if the partners have experience with some other Latin dance style
