💙 Wouldn’t it be great if there was a quick and easy way to learn how to dance?

Join us at Social Dance Academy Belfast where you can learn Kizomba, a beautiful dance that originated in Angola, with both the dance and music having their origins in Semba and Angolan Merengue.

The word “Kizomba” is derived from the Angolan word for ‘party’ or ‘celebration’, and the dance is known for its smooth, earthy dynamic and traditionally close partnership hold.

There are only a handful of steps that are simple to learn, and the steps are danced on every beat with a continuous movement or flow.

Kizomba’s magic, and the reason for its world-wide popularity, lies in its relationship to the music, and the finely tuned lead-follow connection, which gives it that smooth, flowing movement and feeling.

There are some guidelines concerning the step patterns, but the musicality takes precedence, with the dance itself composing of these handful of steps danced in different ways and combinations, making it smooth yet dynamic.

Dancers listen and interpret the music through their movements, and at the Academy, we teach you the steps of kizomba, built around African folk rhythms, and help you find that connection to the music, allowing you to learn musicality and more.

You will also learn different styles of the dance which originated from Kizomba, such as Urban Kiz or Kizomba Fusion, which evolved as way to dance kizomba to a wide variety of musical influences.

Kizomba is a great dance style to learn, and it is danced at most Afro-Latin socials, congresses and festivals around the world.

We've helped hundreds of people learn how to dance, and we were featured in Belfast Live, BBC iPlayer and voted the top ThreeBestRated Afro-Latin dance school in the country.

Anyone can learn how to dance.

No partner, no worries. Most people come on their own and the great thing about partner dancing is that you make friends very quickly.

So join us at Social Dance Academy Belfast, to experience the beauty of Kizomba.
