How other styles can benefit your Kizomba
Tango
Incorporating Tango into Kizomba can enrich the dance with a full-body connection. Kizomba dancers might integrate Tango elements like cross steps, slides, flicks, and various Ochos (front, back, side, reverse). Adjusting these Tango moves to Kizomba can enhance the dance's elegance and intricacy. Smaller steps in this fusion allow for better balance and swift, refined movements.
Hip Hop
Introducing Hip-Hop into Kizomba adds a dynamic, high-energy aspect that reflects confidence. For those familiar with Hip-Hop, this infusion offers creative possibilities, particularly in Urban Kizomba, where the music is more robust. Larger movements can be incorporated to match stronger beats, especially in a song's chorus.
Pole
Adding elements of Pole Dancing or Pole Fitness can significantly benefit a dancer's core and upper body strength. This improvement in physical conditioning and body confidence can positively impact a dancer's ability in partner dances like Kizomba, allowing for the inclusion of stylized moves like reverse kicks.
Bachata Sensual
Integrating Bachata Sensual into Kizomba focuses on internal connection and responsiveness, vital in all dance styles. Adding body waves, common in Bachata Sensual, can enhance the social and interactive aspects of Kizomba, allowing the leader to remain grounded and the follower to shine.
Brazilian Zouk
Incorporating Zouk’s Head Movements involves understanding the shared roots of Zouk and Kizomba, both meaning 'party' in their respective languages. While modern dance instruction often differentiates them for commercial purposes, integrating elements of both can create a more holistic dance experience. Brazilian Zouk, derived from Ghetto Zouk, introduces intricate head movements suitable for slower, romantic music. This fusion acknowledges that while Kizomba and Brazilian Zouk share fundamental elements, each brings unique aspects to the dance floor.
