To dance is an expression of freedom

Kizomba Dance

Dance, in any style, offers a myriad of psychological benefits. It reduces stress, enhances mood, boosts brain function and promotes mindfulness. It’s a form of self-expression that builds confidence and improves social interaction.

Among the many styles, partner dances like Kizomba uniquely highlight the importance of connection and collaboration between individuals. Dance is a holistic activity that enhances emotional well-being through movement, creativity and social engagement.

Kizomba is a partner dance that originated in Angola in the late 1970s and early 1980s. It has since become a global phenomenon at social dance events. Known for its energetic and playful nature, Kizomba emphasises connection to the music and between dancers. It fosters community and belonging. The smooth, melodic music we dance to is a blend of African rhythms, Caribbean Zouk and more.

  • Private Lessons

    Want to level up your Kizomba? Prefer learning one-on-one, at your own pace? Or need revisit something from class that didn’t quite click the first time?

    Private lessons give space to focus on your needs — whether it’s footwork, connection, musicality, or just getting that one move to feel right. They’re a great way to build confidence, helping you bring best your self onto the social dance floor no matter where you’re at in your dance journey.

  • International Artists

    Over the years, we’ve had the pleasure of welcoming international Kizomba artists to Brisbane from Angola, Finland, Portugal, and Guinea-Bissau. Artists like Camba & Anna Maria, Eddy Vents, and Adilson & Telma — each bringing their own flavour, cultural depth, and passion for Kizomba and Semba.

    This July, we’re excited to host Kirsi VanSol and Dasmara Dossantos. Kirsi brings Kizomba straight from the source, working closely with top Angolan artists and training students who’ve gone on to teach around the world. Angolan born Dasmara, known for his creativity, elegance and technical skill, is an inspiration to dancers across Europe and beyond.

In the Angolan Kimbundu language, Kizomba means “party”. Kizomba embraces a culture of coming together and sharing food, music and dance.

We, and others in the Kizomba community, regularly run parties where you can connect with people from your classes as well as the wider community.

Come join us. Make new friends. Build beautiful connections.
