About Kizomba Phoenix

Kizomba Phoenix is the premier place to learn Kizomba, Semba, Tarraxinha, Passada, Coladeira, Funana, Kompa, Afro-House, and other influential dances within the Zouk family, for dancers in the Phoenix metropolitan, Arizona

 

Our mission is to promote Kizomba, educate students, train world-class dancers and preserve the beautiful African culture behind Kizomba. We create a profound family-oriented atmosphere, where everyone can find a home, happiness, love, support, friendship, patience, understanding and charge ourselves with lots of positive energy through dance.

 

We have professionally designed 17 monthly courses, with over 70 lessons in 12 modules to create world-class leads and follows. We start our dance lessons with a group introduction to get everyone acquainted, a dynamic warm-up to get our blood pumping, a connection exercise, our terminal learning objective for the session and often a short educational video. We end our classes with recognition and a quick show-down exercise to allow students to demonstrate their newly acquired superpowers. 

Spread the word and tell a friend to tell another friend.

We look forward to seeing you in class.

About Kizomba:

Kizomba is both a music and dance genre from Angola. The music is a fusion of Semba and Zouk and the dance is a fusion of Semba, Passada as well as other Angolan dances such as Massemba, Kazukuta, Kabetula and more. The dance and the music initially had no name and was referred to as “aquele Zouk com Semba” meaning “that Zouk with Semba”, which later became Kizomba, a name associated with neighborhood gatherings where this new fusion of music and dance took place. These gatherings were also called “Kizombada” and “Passada”. New dance genres and styles are continuously being inspired by Kizomba such as Urban Kiz, BachaKiz, KizTango, and more. Today Kizomba has caught world’s attention and it is played and dance in all continents.
