Brazilian Zouk is a partner dance which began in Brazil during the early s. Brazilian Zouk evolved from the partner dance known as the Lambada. As the Lambada music genre went out of fashion, Lambada dancers turned to Caribbean Zouk from the francophone, Caribbean Islands as their music of choice. It was this transition that birthed the dance known as Brazilian Zouk. The term "Brazilian Zouk" was adopted in order to distinguish the dance style from the musical genre "Caribbean Zouk". Nowadays the term "Zouk" is commonly used to refer to the "Brazilian Zouk" dance style.

Samba Funkeado created by Jimmy de Oliveira has different body interpretation and fundamentals, especially in the execution of the movements. The difference is even clear when using some movements from Samba Traditional when dancing Samba Funkeado.
