K-DNA
-------
Our structured syllabus is designed to ensure dancers progress week on week.
Kizomba levels explained in order:
Level 1 'CONNECTION' - a foundation class in lead/follow techniques and timing, using basic steps with the aim of achieving connection to the music and unity of movement.
Level 2 'CONTINUITY' - focusses on developing smooth transition between basic steps and moves whilst exploring changes in tempo.
Level 3 'FLOW' - helps you to create flows in dance movement using more complex steps/moves, with improved musicality.
Level 4 'FLUX' - explores the influence of other dance genres upon Kizomba and embraces fusion
Our Kizomba 'Connection', 'Continuity' and 'Flow' classes are founded on the principles of traditional African Kizomba. Our 'Flux' class is more European in its perspective.
Our Kizomba classes are also aligned with the official UKA syllabus giving dancers if they wish the opportunity to take UKA graded dance exams.
