What is Kizomba Dance?

Kizomba is a popular partner dance that originated in Angola during the late 1970s and early 1980s. It is now enjoyed and danced worldwide. The dance is known for its slow, sensual, and smooth movements, and it is often danced to Kizomba music, which features a mix of African rhythms, Caribbean zouk, and other contemporary influences. Kizomba is characterized by its close connection between partners, with the dancers maintaining a firm chest-to-chest or hip-to-hip embrace throughout most of the dance.

Semba is a traditional dance and music style from Angola, and it is considered the predecessor of Kizomba. Semba is more upbeat and faster-paced compared to Kizomba, featuring energetic footwork, rhythmic hip movements, and complex partner patterns. Kizomba evolved from Semba by slowing down the tempo and emphasizing the close connection between partners.

Tarraxa or Tarraxinha is a style of dancing that can be incorporated into Kizomba. It involves dancing in a slower and more intimate manner, with a stronger focus on body isolations and intricate hip movements. Tarraxa is often characterized by its sensual and seductive style, and it allows dancers to explore their creativity within the close embrace.

Kompa is a popular music and dance style from Haiti. The dance features a mix of Caribbean and African influences and is known for its lively, energetic movements and vibrant music. Kompa can be danced both as a partnered dance or in a group setting, with dancers moving in sync with the infectious rhythms of the music.

Passada is another dance style that originates from Cape Verde. It is danced to a specific type of music with the same name. Passada is characterized by smooth, flowing movements, often with close body contact between partners. The dance involves intricate footwork and is often performed in a close embrace.

Urbankiz is a modern and urban interpretation of Kizomba. It incorporates elements from Kizomba and other dance styles like hip-hop and contemporary dance. Urbankiz tends to have more open, creative movements and may involve breaking away from the traditional close embrace found in Kizomba.

Zouk is a dance and music style that originated in the French Caribbean islands of Guadeloupe and Martinique. There are different types of Zouk, including Caribbean Zouk and Brazilian Zouk. Caribbean Zouk is more closely related to Kizomba, with its smooth and sensual movements. Brazilian Zouk, on the other hand, is more dynamic and versatile, incorporating intricate turns, dips, and head movements. Both styles are danced in a close embrace and are known for their fluidity and connection between partners.
