About 4 years ago, I took a teacher training that literally change my life as a kizomba dancer. While we were going through drills, the professor stopped me and said:

“you’re not doing the movement properly, you seem to have salsa in your blood.”

I learned to dance salsa before I discovered and fell in love with kizomba. As a new kizomba dancer, I felt many of the basics were the same and it showed in the way I danced. Since the, I worked hard everyday to practice my Kizomba foundation and basics to be true to the essence of the dance.

This video shows you exactly how latin dances and kizomba are different in terms of basic movements!
