Brad Meccia Bio:

Brazilian Zouk found Brad by chance in October of 2010. He quickly fell in love with freedom and flow of the dance and started intensive training. After roughly a year training locally in Knoxville, TN, he was brought on as an assistant instructor at ZoukEra dance company. To further his dance knowledge, Brad spend the next four years traveling both the across the country and internationally to train with as many artists as possible, something he still does today as he believes dance knowledge is never complete. In 2014, Brad founded his own company, Armada Zouk, which now hosts weekly classes, socials, and choreography training in Knoxville and assists in weekly classes in Asheville. In addition to dance, he has earned a PhD in biomedical engineering with a focus in biomechanics. This gives Brad a unique background in truly understanding how the body is designed to move and function, providing many insights into the realm of dance. 

After completing the doctoral program, he spent May and June of 2016 training in Sao Paulo in Rio De Janeiro with multiple instructors including Renata Peçanha, the founder of zouk. After leaving Brazil, he spent the next two months hosting an intensive 8 week, 32 hour series in Kona, Hawaii, a city which he returns to frequently to help continue the growth of the local students. In November of 2017, Brad completed a NeoZouk techniques instructor certification course with Marco (Mafie Zouker) Mendonça so that he can help grow both Rio Style Zouk and NeoZouk techniques throughout the country and internationally.
