Kizomba Ladies Ginga & Styling Classes
Triangle Dance Studio, 2603 S Miami Blvd, Durham, NC, USBack by popular demand!
Join Kimberly Nicole for a 6-week journey designed to help women of all body types and backgrounds explore their unique expression of Ginga——the fluid, feminine movement that lies at the heart of Kizomba and Semba.
Rooted in the rhythms of Angola, Kizomba is a partner dance that emphasizes musicality, connection, and presence. This series offers a safe and supportive space for women to deepen their movement, develop their personal style, and gain tools to feel more grounded and expressive on the dance floor.
Ginga is for everybody! Because when we say Ginga is for every Body, we truly mean every beautiful body.
Whether you’re new to Kizomba or looking to refine your styling, this series is crafted to help you feel empowered, graceful, and connected to your body.
Over the course of six weeks, we’ll focus on:
- Musicality and how to embody the rhythm in basic Kizomba steps
- Foundational body movement and the development of your personal Ginga
- Body isolations and weekly take-home exercises for continued growth
- Techniques to become a more confident and active follower in social dance
No partner or prior experience required. All levels are welcome.
