ABOUT THE DANCES –
Kizomba:
Kizomba is one of the most popular genres of dance and music originating from Angola. It is a derivative of semba, with a mix of Kilapanda and Angolan Merengue, and sung generally in Portuguese. It is music with a romantic flow. It was the Kimbundu name for a dance in Angola as early as 1894. Kizomba has influences from nearby countries and the caribbean and its popularity has been growing and is now danced all over the world. Today you will find many different styles of Kizomba have evolved with their own unique look and feel as inspired artists are excited to share the art.
Afro house:
Angolan afro house dance steps come from kwaito steps (from south Africa), african tribal dance mouvements and mostly “dombolo” mouvements from our brothers from Congo RDC. Because of the cultural influences of the former “Kingdom of Kongo” whose province (Mbanza congo) is still located in Angola.
Afro house or African house, Is a music and dance genre that is mostly practiced in Angola and South Africa. The “music” emerged “first” in “south Africa” in the early 90’s thanks to “house music”. However South Africans had not yet associated afro house music with special dancing steps as Angolans did. South African were deep into their kwaito music and dance. Because it represented a sign of “freedom” and later it became a “voice for South Africans”. However today the sounds of Afro house are being very predominant in South Africa.
Kuduro:
Originally, in early 90’s, the dance steps were very limited to the mouvements done by Jean claude Van Damme in his mouve: Kickboxer from 1989. As the time went by, Angolans created appropriate steps associated with our day by day cultural values to enrich the dance.
Kuduro means, “Hard Ass” (or stiff bottom). It emerged in Angola in the late 1980’s. Tony Amado came to this wonderful idea after seeing the movie Kickboxer from Jean Claude van Damme in 1989. In the begining when it appeared, the music was known as “batida” (beats).

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.
