Kizomba is a dance and music style that originated in Angola and since the eighties and nineties it has spread across Europe and other parts of the world. The dance is characterized by the importance of connection, small and controlled footwork, and a strong focus on leading, following, and musicality.
Kizomba (sometimes also called traditional Kizomba) is the primary dance style offered in the lessons. In the higher levels styles like Semba, Tarraxinha and other related genres are also introduced. Fusion Kizomba and Urban Kizz are generally not included in the curriculum.
Our Kizomba Levels
Level 1 (Beginners) is designed for absolute beginners as well as dancers who want to refine their basics The focus is on basic steps and exercises that improve leading, following, and connection. After this 10-week course, you'll have a solid repertoire of moves to enjoy dancing through an entire night. Not a complete beginner, but never taken classes with us before? We recommend starting with the beginner series or at least joining the 5 final lessons of this series.
Level 1+ of this miniseries is meant for dancers with some Kizomba-experience, who want to refine their basics and technique. We focus on fundamentals, connection and strenghtening your role as leader or follower.

Level 2+ of this miniseries is meant for dancers who have completed level 2, and want to dive deeper. During these 5 weeks we'll work on combinations, technique, and variations. Occasionally we'll explore other Kizomba-adjacent dances and styles such as Semba or Fusion Kizomba.
Level 3 (Intermediate) introduces more advanced combinations, movements, and techniques. Elements from Semba and Tarraxinha may also be included.
