Welcome to the new and improved LEARN KIZOMBA THRU SEMBA…AKA MONDAY NIGHT KIZOMBA!
Brought to you by YASERT & CHRISTINA!
We are offering an PROGRESSIVE 6 WEEK SERIES starting JUNE 4th, 2018.
Each series session will include a 2hr Lesson & Practica plus a 1.5hr Social.
Everyone is welcome. No level or partner required. This class is a space where we will learn together and help each other grow.
ABOUT THE SERIES:
We are very excited about our new class structure where students will be able to build upon what they learn in each subsequent class.
The goal is to create a stronger foundation of fundamentals, in both Semba and Kizomba, while expanding knowledge and development of technique and personal style.
Each class is an opportunity to enrich your Semba and Kizomba dance. Not only will you strengthen and build upon your foundational steps, you will learn about the music and its nuances which will add to your musicality and overall connection and feeling of the dance.
———————————————————————
SERIES DATES:
JUNE 4th, 11th, 18th & 25th
JULY 2nd & 9th
WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?
This series was designed to give you the most bang for your buck. Instead of the standard 1 hour class, which rarely feels like enough time, you will receive 2hrs of instruction that will go beyond just learning steps.
Every session will include practice of body movements needed to enhance your dance, deepen range of motion and body control.
At the end of each lesson will be 30 minutes practica and 1on1 time, where you will be able to ask specific questions and can practice applying movements to different music; Kizomba & Semba.
You will also have the added benefit of instruction from both a lead AND a follow, which ultimately will create a more well rounded learning experience.
And if that wasn’t enough we have a Social as well!
(You do not need to attend the class to attend the social).

Your Instructors: KC Karl & Christina
About Us:
We are longtime friends with a mutual respect for each other’s knowledge and skills as dancers and teachers. This respect is reflected in our classes which place equal value on both the lead AND the follow’s role. With a sense of fun and playfulness and attention to detail we aim to create a warm, relaxed learning environment that maximizes and honors our students learning.
When deciding to team up it was important to us that we didn’t follow the common path of most Kizomba instruction but created balanced instruction that focuses on follows just as much as it focused on leads. Additionally, we are dedicated to addressing issues/topics that are often overlooked in classes.
We want our students to walk away from each classes feeling accomplished and knowing they have gained more knowledge, technique, skill as well as unlocking their own creativity and dance personality.This guiding philosophy will help students learn faster and be more confident because the class accommodates the students rather than the students having to accommodate to class.

Manuel Kanza Bio:
Manuel Kanza has been making his mark in Angola since 2008 when he won the hit TV competition, Bounce (produced by Semba Comunicação), which scouts top dance talent from all over Angola. This honor earned him an apprenticeship in Portugal at the country´s top dance studio with one of the country´s leading dance crews.
Last year after being featured as a choreographer on Bounce´s third season, Semba awarded him a scholarship to further his study of dance in Brazil at the prestigious Angel Vianna dance university and train at the famous Debrah Colker Dance Company Movement Center, including with Deborah Colker herself. Kanza fell in love with dancing Kuduro, Afro House and hip-hop in Angola in 1995.
