Have you ever asked yourself this question: How to improve my connection on kizomba?
You’ve almost certainly already done it, because actually, the couple connection is one of the most important tools for kizomba dancing
As a studied dance, to be taught in dance classes, kizomba is quite young. It evolved a lot in terms of technique and movement and it is possible to make figures, combinations and technical elements that are really complex and of a high technical level.
BUT
You can also be very minimalist in the dance and ENJOY A LOT. We use this phrase a lot in our classes and lectures:
“There is a huge difference between Doing the basics and Dancing the basics”
One of the most important things when you dance kizomba is, in fact, the couple connection, which will be the foundation for better communication in terms of Leading and Following.
One of our students from the ALC Kizomba & Semba Academy Online wrote to us saying:
“Can you suggest some tips or drills to help find the connection? Because without that, I feel like I’m trying to copy how you move from the videos”
Since it was such an awesome question, we decided to teach an entire class on the subject at the ALC Kizomba & Semba Academy Online
We started by brainstorming important feelings, techniques and theories that we naturally apply and also that we teach in isolation for our students to improve their skills.
Here you have part of this brainstorm, which was the trigger to prepare the class, associating some practical exercises, where students could better understand the theory, being able to practice and consequently feel the much desired Improvement of the Couple’s Connection Improvement.
