🌸DC Cherry Blossom Kizomba Festival (CBKF) is a unique celebration of spring, life, music, dance, culture, community, African roots, authentic connections, and international unity. CBKF features 4 days of dance classes, 4 nights of evening dance parties, and various social activities.
Dance and music genres represented at CBKF include Urban Kiz, Kizomba, Tarraxo, Konpa and Afrobeat. Providing plenty of challenge and creative opportunities to the experienced dancers as well as safe and supportive learning space for those just getting started on their dance journeys, CBKF is a welcoming place for dancers of all skill and experience levels.
Taking place at the end of March in the greater Washington DC area, CBKF is also a great opportunity visit the Capital at its most beautiful time of the year and enjoy the renowned DC Cherry Blossom Festival and the region’s enlivening spring weather.
While celebrating the roots and birthplace cultures of each dance, and international influences that shape and define the dances to their current forms, CBKW prides itself on spotlighting North America based talent. Each year, CBKF’s world-class lineup of artists is selected with careful consideration of not only artistic skill, level, and acclaim, but also each artist’s contributions to building their local dance communities, nurturing the culture(s), and providing positive leadership in the local, national, and international community discourse.
At CBKF, we not only believe, but know, from the deep in our bones, the transformational power of dance to engage, educate, unite and to be a vessel for personal growth and positive social change. We harness that power to create experiences that help build bridges of understanding, awareness, care, and appreciation for the cultures of the dances and the people of the cultures all while having good wholesome fun. Held during the last weekend of the Women’s History Month, CBKF places special emphasis on celebrating and spotlighting female artists and leaders.
CBKF is not just a hot party, it’s a hot party with a message!

‼️SAFETY:
🌸 DC Cherry Blossom Kizomba Festival – Code of Conduct 🌸

At CBKF, we are deeply committed to the well-being, safety, and inclusivity of our dance community. We believe that everyone, regardless of gender, race, or religion deserves to feel respected, supported, and free to enjoy the beauty of Kizomba in a safe and welcoming environment.

If you experience or witness any unsolicited behavior or uncomfortable situations:
1 If you feel safe doing so, make a clear attempt to set a boundary with the individual involved. Sometimes, a direct and respectful communication can resolve misunderstandings.
2 If the issue persists or you feel unsafe, please immediately contact any CBKF team member or reach out directly to Juste Pehoua or Kimiko Sumner. We are here to listen and act—on the spot.

All reports will be taken seriously and handled with discretion. After hearing from both parties and assessing the situation, we will determine the appropriate course of action. This may include:
• Mediation between the individuals involved
• A warning
• Or, if necessary, escorting the individual(s) regardless of gender, out of the event, depending on the severity of the incident.

Let’s continue to build a community rooted in respect, joy, and connection—on and off the dance floor.

With love and rhythm,
The CBKF Team
See you all on the dance floor !
