The Bootcamp
A start-here path across three Saturday afternoons — open to absolute beginners and dancers who want a clean Kizomba foundation.
What is Kizomba?
Kizomba is a close-hold partner dance from Angola, built on subtle partner communication, smooth footwork, and the music of semba and Antilian zouk. Sonja teaches the authentic roots of the dance alongside its social vocabulary — the steps, the connection, and the confidence to dance at a festival.
