Kizomba is...

"An embrace means I don't feel threatened by you, I'm not afraid to be this close, I can relax, feel at home, feel protected and in the presence of someone who understands me. It is said that each time we embrace someone warmly, we gain an extra day of life."

A quote from Paul Coelho (one of my favorite authors) that describes for me what dancing kizomba is like.

All Quiet on the Western Front?

I know, its been a little quiet after mobbing Westlake but I have a good excuse - a birthday to celebrate.

Don't forget to stop by to dance kizomba all night long at the First Friday Kizomba Dance tonight (June 7) at the Century Ballroom (East Hall). Dennis Richards will be teaching the beginner drop-in lesson from 9-10pm and then dancing starts at 10:00pm to 1:00am.

After that, if you still want more kizomba, head over to SalsaNSeattle for a mix of Salsa, Bachata, Kizomba or, head over to Salsa Con Todo for their Dark Set which includes some kizomba.

See you out dancing tonight!
