We’re excited to welcome Tayler back to One Zouk in 2026.
Wesley & Rachel
Australia/Brazil
As the organisers behind One Zouk, we’ve put a lot of thought into this year — not because we wanted One Zouk to be bigger, but because we wanted to create something special. An experience where you can grow, dance your heart out, connect with people and step away from everyday life for a few days.
The One in One Zouk has always meant something to us. When you walk through the doors, we want the labels to disappear. Different people, different countries, different levels and different journeys, all coming together through the same dance.
That philosophy sits at the heart of One Zouk 2026 and the experience we’re creating in McLaren Vale.
Alongside organising the weekend, we’ll be teaching, DJing, dancing and probably running around like crazy — but most importantly, we’ll be there experiencing it with you.
See you in the One Zouk World ❤️🔥
