?✨ Our guest artists João & Giedre need little introduction. João has been dancing Kizomba since 2007 and took inspiration from great references such Master Petchu, Kwenda Lima and Afrolatin Connection. Together with Giedre, the epitome of style and refined femininity, they bring elegance and grace to the kizomba floor. They are reknown international artists who teach all levels of Tarraxinha, Kizomba, Semba and Kompa and attach great importance to good fundamentals in all these styles.
