The Bootcamp

Three deeper dives around Kizomba.

Three Saturday afternoons exploring the musical worlds around Kizomba. Open level overall — the Semba module asks for some Kizomba comfort.

Konpa & Zouk

Cancelled · ~~Saturday 17 October 2026 · 15:00–18:00~~

Konpa is Haiti's signature close-hold partner dance; Zouk comes from the French Caribbean. Both share Kizomba's embrace and bring their own rhythmic flavour.

Tarraxinha

Saturday 7 November 2026 · 15:00–18:00

The slow, intimate cousin of Kizomba — stripped down to pure connection, minimal footwork, and deep musicality.

Semba — next level

Saturday 23 January 2027 · 15:00–18:00 · Dips & Tricks with Musicality

The upright, playful Angolan ancestor of Kizomba — faster tempo, more dynamic partner dialogue, dips and tricks woven into the music.

Three Saturdays · Studio Art Deco 1 · 15:00–18:00. Come on your own or with a partner.
