Introduction
Kizomba is a new dance lesson taught at Footloose. Our lessons will be focussed on the Bachata Sensual. During the Bachata lessons, you dance with a dance partner. It is useful if you bring a dance partner yourself, but you can also find a dance partner at Footloose. For example at our DSTO evening, or during the first two weeks of the course.
The dance style
Bachata is a partner dance style originating from the Dominican Republic. It is danced on four-count music. The dance style is recognisable through its small steps.
Dominican
Bachata Dominican is the original style. It is characterized by its fast footwork, rhythmic hip movements, and playful style.
Sensual
Bachata Sensual, which is taught at Footloose, is version of Bachata, which is characterised by its slower, more fluid movements, and its emphasis on connection and intimacy between partners.
Course progress
