In this session, you’ll learn the basics of Kizomba, a smooth and soulful partner dance that originated in Angola and is gaining popularity across the world. We’ll explore its simple foundation steps and show you how to blend them with elements of tango, hip hop, and your own personal style. No experience, partner, or fancy footwork required—just come as you are and let the rhythm guide you. It’s not just about learning moves; it’s about discovering what your body can say when you give it the space to speak._x000D_
