First of all, thank you! This was very helpful for me. Secondly though, my husband very passionately wants it noted that Kizomba is not a Latin American dance, but an Angolan one 🇦🇴☝️😄
Oooh because I am teaching Latin motion. 😅 I call it Latin motion because it’s what I use to teach people hip movement in salsa, but we use it in jazz, swing, and other dances that aren’t Latin. Also, even though the very first thing I learned about kizomba is that it is an Angolan dance, I learned it in Cuba so I think in my mind I group it in with Latin dances 😬 thank you for the reminder, I’m making another kizomba vídeo today and I’ll make sure to clarify that. Thanks for watching! I’m glad you loved it!
No I am sorry but that is beyond offensive that you are going to teach about Kizomba and call it Latin dance and just put them all together? That is like me teaching the Tango calling it African dance. These are actually cultural dances so by not distinguishing it correctly is a bit clueless and comes across like you are just unaware of the culture to begin with and are just putting all these dances together cause ohh well they are mixing the hips type of dances. anyways. If you are teaching something that is not of your own culture then you should take the time to learn correctly about the dance and just make a new video with the correct teaching.
@@l.mendes547 if we're being honest most if not all of the Latin dances have African movements in them. The movement she was referring to is called the "cuban hip motion" which is present in most Latin dances. Granted Kizomba is an Angolan dance but we can't lie that it does share traits with the Latin dances or social dances (if we want to be correct)
@@lauriobaptista7210 No called it like it is. Latin have this tendency of taking our culture and making them their. Just like kuduro. I was dance kuduro this Latin lady told me I was doing it wrong; that it was weird the way I was dancing! I had to educated her on my culture that kuduro belong to us not Latin and now we have the same issue with kizomba w/. these people are already taking our dance out contest and make it sexual dance. This dance was a type of dance that a daughter and father could dance it together, now you can't even dance it with a friend... these people trying to teach kizomba looks like they are robot. It doesn't have none of that. It's not like ballet. This is fun dance that comes naturally. So ridicules!!!
One of my goals this year was to learn dancing that helps make my waist trimmer. Your class is well detailed, I can't wait to go through the other videos. Thanks for your dedication
@@DanceDoctor Been looking for a mentor of your style and passion since way back. Even if im not in the U.S to learn from you directly, your RUclips videos are a tremendous source of knowledge and inspiration. Blessed to have stumbled upon it. Cheers!!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Yesterday ( 04/14/21 ) I had my first Kizomba's class. I felt a little bit lost. This video ist helping me a lot !! 🤩 Thanks !! ❤️ Kisses from Brazil. ☺️
Easy to follow lessons, with “step-by-step” detailed instructions starting with the most basic moves, gradually moving to combinations and ideas for more elaborate techniques when you are ready. Anyone who has done any kind of dancing - even Jazzercise - will find these steps familiar and easy (esp if you are like me & your dance experience goes back before disco in early 70s 😃🕺💃🏼). The hard work comes for those of us who haven’t danced or exercised much in the last “few” years - it’s work out time! Great companion to finding & working your abs for core strength and strengthening muscles, which leads to better posture and stronger (& more flexible) back muscles. I will prepare for these Kizomba lessons with my (gentle) Pilates and Yoga - Dancing to great music is my idea of a wonderful and motivating reward for taking care of my body.
Wow! What amazing explanations for a beginner like me! I also like very much that you show the steps like if we're right behind you. That is much more easy to follow.Thank you so much!
@Sunny Tundra Bunny Alaska is a beautiful state. I was there about 10 years ago, and I loved it very much. Drove the Alaskan Highways. If I could, I would move there. Do you have a room for rent? LOL, LOL... just kidding @Sunny Tundra Bunny
Thanks so much for EXPLAINING how to move and where to place your foot in great detail. I am going to watch this and practice every day until I can become similar to you (in dancing) 😂 ...oh, and I must lose a lot of inches around the waist, too! 😂 Thank you - thank you - thank you 👍🏽👍🏽 👏🏼👏🏼
I am putting it on repeat until I perfect these moves! I’m taking Kizomba group classes but needed help with ladies movement. So glad I found your channel!
Thank youu this was so helpful! I 100% missed the information that we move our hips isolated from the shoulders and was wondering why I look like an idiot trying too hard😂😂 after 20 minutes practicing with you it became so much better! Thank you very much 😍
Thanks alot for your video , it has help me alot , I've been taking Kizomba classes and I felt like I will never be able to dance it , i spent almost 3 weeks with this video and I cant believe my improvement! Thanks again keep it up !
Me subscribí porque sé qué con mis fantásticos movimientos de mi salsa 💃 cubana Guantanamera puedo aprender kizomba ✌🏽👌gracias por tú tiempo linda bendiciones para ti y tu esposo y familia gracias 🙏 💃✅🥰
TO ME THE BEST KIZOMBA VIDEO BECAUSE YOU KNOW HOW TO TRAIN OTHER VIDEO ONLY THEY DANCE AND DANCE BUT DON'T TRAIN LIKE YOU DO IT THANK YOU VERY MUCH I'M LEARNING A LOT WITH YOU 🙏🙏💯
I’ve watched a few kizomba dance tutorials but none as specific as this!!! Absolutely loved this video and read easy to follow along. Thanks for showing steps from the back. Keep them coming . I’ll. Be. On my way to dancing KIZOMBA 💃🏾
Hi! This tutorial is for followers, but you can learn the basic step by doing the natural opposite of what I’m teaching (starting on the left foot in basic 1&2, moving forward instead of back in basic 3) the hip movements are for followers.
I'm glad u mentioned Angola. I'm Angolan (living in South Africa) and learn fron u .
Wow I’m so flattered. Thanks so much.
So , How does it feel ... taking lessons on your culture from a colinizer ????

Hi! This tutorial is for followers, but you can learn the basic step by doing the natural opposite of what I’m teaching (starting on the left foot in basic 1&2, moving forward instead of back in basic 3) the hip movements are for followers.
