My new passion is KIZOMBA. Why?

By listening of this music I dive in some kind of meditation, I become as the waves.. When you dancing it and listening to the rhythm, you become one with the message of this dance : wavy, soft and powerful. Also soulful, beautifully growing into the space, melting with the partner and other dancers.

Kizomba can be 1)very sexi! It strenghtens your first chakra – connection with the Earth. 2) It moves your second chakra – pelvic floor, so while you are dancing, you are giving massage to yourself as well. 3) On the high heels it is also a bit like a fittness, you need to keep the balance, to keep your core active, to “listen” to your partner moves, to move with him. I always bless every partner who is enjoying to make my body to wave. Ok, sometimes it is too rushy(quick), sometimes outside the rhythm, not every partner is pleasant to dance with. But only by sharing the listening of the music, it is getting me on the journey to the far Africa bars or Brazilian parties, where people dance this afro – brazilian dance.

Kizomba is a social dance and music genre that originated in Angola during late 1970s to early 1980s. Kizomba is a national heritage of Angola and means “party” in Kimbundu.^[2][3] Traditionally, kizomba was danced with family, friends, and acquaintances in social settings such as parties and weddings, but is nowadays also enjoyed in clubs as well as other settings such as Kizomba Na Rua (Kizomba on the street) that are popular in Luanda.

The influence of kizomba is felt in most Portuguese-speaking African countries, but also in Portugal (especially in Lisbon and surrounding suburbs such as Amadora or Almada), where communities of immigrants have established clubs centered on the genre in a renewed kizomba style. The São Tomeankizomba music is very similar to the Angolan, Juka being the most notable among the Sãotomeans, and also one of the most notable performers in the genre.

Countries where they dance the most kizomba: PORTUGAL / LISBON, CAPE VERDE, BRAZIL, CHINA / BEIJING, SHANGHAI, GHANA,
