What we teach
Kizomba, derived from the traditional dances Semba (Angola) and Pasada (Cape Verde) among others, is a sensual partner dance coupled with music from Angola, Cape Verde and the Caribbean primarily sung in Portuguese or French Creole.
�
Why we teach
Our chief goal is for dancers, especially Kizomba dancers, new or improver, to learn to experience a different dance each time especially when dancing with the same partner to the identical song.
�
Our philosophy
Like most dancers, dance is leisure so:
- Have fun
- Make the dance your own
- Listen to your dance music over and over until your very familiar
- Dance with EVERYONE in the dance community
- Turn your mistakes into possibly your signature move
- There is one leader, the music, and two followers:
- First follower follows the music
- Second follower follows first follower and the music
- Rhythm is key to a successful dance
