KIZOMBA
What is Kizomba?
Kizomba is an African (Angola) dance characterized by close partner connection and smooth, grounded movement. It is a dance of connection and a conversation between the dance partners. Kizomba can be successfully danced with only four or five basic moves, and yet mastery lies in the subtlety of movement and of the lead-follow connection.
​
It is a very low impact dance that can be danced by any body irrespective of shape, size, height or how many left feet you have. It can be danced solo, in open frame and in closed frame. Heels are not required for this dance style, though you are more than welcome to wear your heels.
It is the perfect for people who want to learn some dance moves for the dance floor and also for couples wanting to share connection and dance. You don't need to have a partner to come along and join in the fun!
​
The beauty of Kizomba is that it can be danced with many styles of Salsa, Zouk and mainstream pop/rock music.

TESTIMONIAL
"I had NO experience of Latin Dance and took a leap of faith. I was lucky enough to meet Marco and have him as my teacher! He took someone who is 67 and never danced to be able to glide across the floor and feel fabulous and confident because he is such an amazing leader and teacher!
I LOVE Kizomba - and zouk- in fact I love anything Marco teaches!
Run don't walk to private lessons or his classes - it's so much fun!!"
