Hello all, I am a lead looking to improve partner connection and other things in my kizomba/semba dancing. I’m not really look to get into urban right now. Any good recommendations for follow instructors in the NYC area?

Okay so i usually like kizomba remixes of popular songs ie sunflowe kizomba remix and i would like to know if anyone has a playlist of popular remixes? I'm trying to find online but it's taking a while to compile.

I hear most of the complaints between Bachateros, since it's danced with a bigger distance. But how's the atmosphere in Kizomba? Usually the body contact is higher and dance time is longer, so would it happen that someone make it personal by next approaches? Like showing feelings or etc ? How do followers see kizomba ?

Hi there. Does anybody know places on Bali where you can dance kizomba?! Bachata/salsa is also fine :)!

I'm a lead that has been dancing off and on for a little while. I get a lot of mixed results in my dancing in a lot of ways, one of them being frame. There are times when I'm told my frame is very good and other times, I get hints that it is the opposite. How do I know one way or the other and what can I do to fix it?

Long story much simplified… I recently was diagnosed with a shoulder injury that likely will not get better and the doctors suggested less overhead movement of my arms. Kizomba has proven to be much less overhead movement oriented compared to styles like salsa or bachata. I’m curious what other styles also involve less overhead arm movement / spins… I LOVE Kiz and also love learning new styles. Thanks!

To whom might be interested: next weekend, the biggest kizomba festival in Romania will be in Cluj.

What made you want to dance Kizomba?

What's your favorite part of dancing Kizomba?

Do you have a very Kizomba dancer that has inspired your own dance?

When you dance, what are you feeling?

I was just wondering if it’s worth trying barefoot shoes for kizomba (normal kizomba, tarraxinha; maybe some urban)

As there are no sneakers that i like atm and toms usually fall apart from sweat atrition after some months i was considering getting barefoot shoes for kizomba

Im not talking crazy fivefingers as they have a grippy vibram sole that i don’t like for dancing but maybe wildlings or vivos

So has anyone ever tried it? What was your experiencence?

A friend of mine asked me to go to the Zouk/ Kizomba event this Saturday.
I took a few Zouk classes long ago, so I am a complete beginner at Brazilian Zouk, although I am an experienced kizomba/ Urban kiz dancer.

Can you dance kizomba or Urban kiz with Brazilian zouk music?

I'm moving to SG soon, and I really like kizomba. I'm still at a learner stage, so I'm wondering if there's a space in SG to continue learning kizomba. Any thoughts?

I have finished beginner Kizomba course and want to go on to learn intermediate stuff. Unfortunately not many people here teach more than beginner stuff. I found Youtube videos to be adhoc and have no structure. Do you have any recommendations for online classes for people like me who. Anyone tried Albir Rojas or other paid classes?

I would like to know your Top 3 personal favorite multi-day Kizomba/Semba/Urban/etc events . So these could be Weekenders, Congresses, Festivals, anywhere in the world. You can just list them, or you can also elaborate what you love about those events.

Hi everyone,

I just started dancing kizomba again after 2 years off. I am taking lessons in Amsterdam but as you know it's not enough with only lessons. I've started going to socials(Kizz Meet Up and Mecredi Kizz) but the parties quickly become expensive to keep up with. Hence, I am looking for a regular dance partner(s) to practice with sometimes. I'm am focused on leading and connection as that is something that's currently challenging for me. With spring approaching, we can meet in a park to practise too.

Kindly send me pm if interested. Thanks.

I've only started dancing kizomba relatively recently, having previously danced a lot of salsa and bachata. I'm a guy, and have danced as a lead most of the time, but have recently also tried following and enjoyed it. I was just at an SBK congress where I danced almost entirely as a follow (this was at Newcastle in the UK, btw). There was a lot of support and encouragement, no-one had any problem in the classes (maybe a few surprised looks). Almost everyone was saying that dancing as a follower is a great way to improve as a lead. I just enjoy following for the sake of following, but I will continue to lead as well and it does help a lot. I didn't see any other men follow. There were several women dancing as leads, and it was mostly them that I was asking to dance in the social. I'm hesitant to ask men to lead me because I'm not sure how it would be received. I don't want to make them feel uncomfortable. Are there many men who dance as a follower in your area? Do you know how men generally feel about leading other men?

Came across this song playing and loved it, anyone knows this one? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WXBltmkW_x8

Not sure if this is a relevant question for this platform. I (27F) am looking for potential men to date and marry but most of them have a problem with me dancing and want me to quit dancing altogether and some are willing to learn but want me to dance only with them. It's frustrating. Pls help! I found a decent guy who's very supportive otherwise but doesn't like the idea of me dancing so intimately with other men. Dancing is something very close to my heart and I want to go ahead professionally but I've had issues with guys being okay with it. Please help!

Hi guys as the title suggests I’m desperately trying to figure out what song/remix this is. Thanks in advance! -
