We Love Kizomba Volume 1

In this app, the 1st in their series, Miguel Monteiro and Marlene Almeida will teach you all the vital basic steps and body movements so that you will be confident to take to the dance floor whenever Kizomba is played.

Background:
Kizomba is both a musical genre and a dance style. Kizomba as a dance existed in one form or another for a long time before it came to be called “Kizomba” and many of the steps and movements that define Kizomba evolved out of other African dances. It’s a relatively new musical genre that started in the late 1970s and 1980s and evolved out of a combination of African rhythms, traditional Angolan Semba music, fused with Zouk (also a popular musical genre in French speaking countries in Africa, and originally from the French Caribbean islands of Guadeloupe and Martinique).

Kizomba is very rapidly becoming a worldwide dance phenomenon capturing the interest and passion of dancers everywhere due to the close connection and leading and following experience that makes this dance so unique.
