Some critics argue that YouTube promotes influencers and entices impressionable young viewers to focus on superficial, short-lived trends. However, the platform cannot be viewed exclusively negatively. YouTube also brings viewers closer to different cultures and helps preserve cultural traditions that might otherwise be forgotten on the internet. An example of this is the Brazilian Zouk, a couple dance that originated in Brazil in the early 1990s.

Brazilian zouk evolved from lambada, and over time dancers experimented with incorporating musical styles such as R&B, pop, hip-hop and contemporary while maintaining the dance's cultural roots.

Here are the 6 best sensual Zouk dance videos that you will watch again and again.
