Here's the first edition of the Kizomba Roots immersion days! We start with the proper fundamentals in semba & kizomba (or refine & refresh them). These are the things that you can never dance without; regardless of your level.We'll focus on the fundamentals of dancing, to give you a great base on which to build your semba and kizomba.
Just so you know: Semba and kizomba are the same dance, only musicality moves them on "the scale". The basic techniques and steps are the same.
In the classes, we will practice
- rhythm and ginga (the body movement of semba & kizomba)
- quality of EVERY step; stepping with proper weight shift and grounding
- finishing each step appropriately to prepare for the next step, whatever it may be
- keeping your partner in the correct position for each movement
- maintaining steady contact & connection through movements
- controlling the distance, positioning, direction, dissociation etc.
- appropriate foot placement for each movement
- musicality
- leading & following
- etc.
LEVEL: Open level (Note: this is not the same as total beginner level!)
I recommend that you have at least done a beginner's course and have some experience of dance classes, since this is going to be very intense.
