Description
Learn Kizomba with Drew and Audrey!
Drew and Audrey are North New Jersey based dance Kizomba instructors. Both have a background in Latin, hip hop and contemporary dance. Join in for the upcoming 8-week progressive cycle!
Kizomba is a cultural partner dance from Angola, Africa and translates to the word "party" in Kimbundu. Its roots stem from the dance Semba. Kizomba is influenced in its flavor and motion from Semba. Music associated with Kizomba is often energetic, percussive with a warm combination of instrumentals and vocals.
Kizomba is centered on grounded connection between partners. The signature pattern of movement is focused on circular shapes. Connection is key to learning how to smoothly glide around the dance floor with your partner!
