Great job Latrell on explaining these things :) really the best way to showcase it! One other difference is that - kizomba is grounded - energy is in the ground - where urbankiz the way of stepping and energy is up in the chest..and you step lighter being more on toes. But really you are doing a great job on educating the kizomba world! Go on!
Did any of you make a trip to Angola and interview the real heavyweights of this style of dance? I remember when it was called passada. Also I've noticed that Cape Verde is not mentioned in either of your videos given the fact that a lot of CV songs are used. Also know that CV and Angola has a strong connection with eachother. Passada has similar steps with a CV dance called mazurka hence the connection. Did anyone do their homework? Keep in mind that we are all watching. Nevertheless, I wish you all lots of success. From a history enthusiast 🎶🎵🎼👌🌺 much love 😘
There is a misunderstanding here, These moves of Urban kizomba they are not new, in Angola people dance in different ways and I´ve seen this before so many times. The problem is that angolans don´t create names about the types of Kizomba they dance, plz kkkkkkk don´t tell me that adding rap, r&b etc moves when dancing Kizomba was created in France or It´s a new thing. In years to come, It won´t sound news if somebody tells me that Kizomba is LAtino or the like... Coz It already happpens. But I don´t blame you guys, coz It´s hard to see an angolan with a youtube channel talking about kizomba. And that´s bad! Thx for what you´re doing, you´re really doing a good job by promoting kizomba Overseas, I really appreciate. However, everytime I see sth that It´s not true, I also have the duty to deny or discuss It. Thankas!!!
I see a lot of tarraxinha elements on Urban Kiz events and dancing couples as well the style of chest-to-chest, both hands in the back. These elements and other improvising things done have been permitted and existing in Kizomba since its creation. Hmn especially tarraxinha moves, tarraxinha=kizomba, back in 80-90s in Portugal similar variation of kizomba alike was been danced in clubes, conclusion not much differences.
It is a good video! But I have one question, what do you mean when you says that Kizomba has circular moviments? And Urban Kiz has more linear? Please clarify me :)
When dancing Kizomba we dance more in circles. We go round and round like a circle. That's why we say circular movements. The influence of Semba is really present in Kizomba. Urban Kiz made things more robotic and straight up. Moving in straight lines. The music plays a big part in this because of the hard beats ghetto zouk music provides. Dancing Kizomba on different music naturally changed Kizomba. Smooth circular movements became straight lines as in Linear movements to follow the Ghetto Zouk beat/music.

So basically urban kiz is kizomba just with different moves. You can dance kizomba to the urbankiz music that is what I do. Mostly.
What is then the difference between urban kiz and kizomba fusion? Because in urban kiz there's also a fusion

That´s tarraxinha, It´s also from Angolan, we dance It most in parties. For me, It´s more sensual than Kizomba.
