Spreading the Kizomba Love

Joao and Mafalda

I am overwhelmed by this weekend's success!

The workshops with Joao N Rocha and Mafalda Amador were so much fun. I had a blast meeting so many people who are excited about kizomba: a sensual and lovely connected dance from Angola. There was so much I learned: about the dance, about the people that love the dance, about what makes the connection between lead and follow so sweet.

This is a repeat if you're on the facebook page but its worth repeating. Thanks so much to:

• Joao and Mafalda: great teachers, wonderful dancers who shared their knowledge, energy and passion (so much fun!)
• Carlos Cinta and Carla Poma who took a chance and brought Joao and Mafalda to the US to spread kizomba love.
• Century Ballroom (Hallie, Alison) for taking a chance and supporting kizomba in its infancy
• Ana Antunes for planting the seeds that started it all, sharing her love and passion for the dance 
• The small but kizomba-crazy group that have been practicing at Studio J (you know who you are)
• And ofcourse, to everyone who attended and supported this fun-filled weekend and played a part in  growing the kizomba family here in Seattle (and beyond).
