Which level suits you?
Beginner
Learn basic steps, movement, leading and following. We recommend taking this level twice before moving on; some material varies between course rounds.
Continuation
You should know basics, both saidas, retrocesso (chacha), balancé and opening to a 90- or 180-degree position. Develop movement patterns and combinations. Taking this level more than once can help consolidate technique.
Developing further
Once you feel confident on the social dance floor, you can refine body control, musicality and precision. The course list shows which levels are available in the current round.

No. Come on your own or with someone. We usually rotate partners, but if you come together you can choose to dance with each other.
Where is the course?
Each course shows its studio and address. Söder is at Tjurbergsgatan 27, near Skanstull. Valhalla is at Valhallavägen 55, by Tekniska högskolan. Check your course before you travel.
How do I book?
Choose Book course beside your chosen course. Registration opens in Coursely, where you select individual registration or the option that suits you. The Swedish button “Anmäl individuellt” means register individually. Check the course and price before completing the booking.

What is Kizomba?
Kizomba comes from Angola and developed from semba. It is a smooth partner dance built on rhythm and connection between leader and follower. The music and dance have developed in several directions, reflected in today’s social dance scene.
Urban Kiz
Urban Kiz emerged in Paris in the early 2010s alongside more R&B-influenced music. Dancers use different distances, syncopation and contrasts between smooth and sharper movement to interpret the music. Influences include hiphop, tango and afrobeats.
Tarraxinha
Tarraxinha uses body isolations to express the music. Movements can be danced individually or led with a partner and appear within several Kizomba styles.
