Founded in 2014, Kizomba RDU is working to promote Kizomba and other African dances throughout the Raleigh-Durham, North Carolina area. It is our mission to represent, teach and facilitate the proper learning of Kizomba and other African dances. Through group classes, social events and workshops with visiting instructors, Kizomba RDU will help nurture the growth of the dance and music in the area. With origins from Angola (Africa), Kizomba is focused on the connection between you, your partner and the music. Our goal is to have fun while learning Kizomba and develop dancers who possess a depth of understanding in the diversity of styles and musicality, and can relate beautifully through movement and feeling. It is our hope to continue the legacy of this beautiful cultural dance, to teach its history, to cultivate its growth.
