Kizomba is a grounded, smooth flowing dance which originated in Angola with its roots in semba. As Angolan semba music was influenced by Carribbean Zouk in the 70’s & 80’s resulting in Kizomba music, the semba dancers adapted their steps to match the music tempo and Kizomba as a dance was born. As a partner dance the beauty of Kizomba comes from the connection, being able to lead and follow in complete harmony while immersing yourself in the music. It’s the perfect dance to improve your lead and follow skills in other dance styles.
Come and discover our Kizomba classes in Melbourne & Geelong where we will be teaching the roots of the traditional Kizomba and semba, and in our more advanced levels we will introduce a fusion with Urban Kiz.

My partner used to joke about having "two left feet" and was really stiff at the start, but by the end, he was dancing well and having fun! 😊 They were always so positive, patient, and attentive to our wishes, making sure the choreography perfectly suited us. Their smiles and encouragement made all the difference! I highly recommend them! If you’re feeling like you can’t dance, trust me, they are the team you need to help you shine on the dance floor! 🌟💃🕺
