Kizomba is...

"An embrace means I don't feel threatened by you, I'm not afraid to be this close, I can relax, feel at home, feel protected and in the presence of someone who understands me. It is said that each time we embrace someone warmly, we gain an extra day of life."

A quote from Paul Coelho (one of my favorite authors) that describes for me what dancing kizomba is like.

All Quiet on the Western Front?

I know, its been a little quiet after mobbing Westlake but I have a good excuse - a birthday to celebrate.

Don't forget to stop by to dance kizomba all night long at the First Friday Kizomba Dance tonight (June 7) at the Century Ballroom (East Hall). Dennis Richards will be teaching the beginner drop-in lesson from 9-10pm and then dancing starts at 10:00pm to 1:00am.

After that, if you still want more kizomba, head over to SalsaNSeattle for a mix of Salsa, Bachata, Kizomba or, head over to Salsa Con Todo for their Dark Set which includes some kizomba.

See you out dancing tonight!

Mob Time Yo!

After several months and three reschedules, we're finally here - time for a kizomba flash mob in Seattle.

There's still time to join so if you're at all interested, here's what you need to know:

Check out the choreography by requesting to join the flash mob group.

Friday 5/17 practice from 8:00 pm to 9:00 pm to learn flash mob choreography: Detail on facebook

Saturday 5/18 mob time at Westlake Center (outside in the open area in front of Sephora, across from the Starbuck's on 4th and Pine Street from 12:30 pm to 1:30 pm. (Details on facebook)

Logistics:
Plan to get to Westlake by 12:30pm
Wear your Kizomba Seattle (or black) t-shirt under something
When you hear the music, take the shirt off, find a partner and gather with the group.
Dance!
When the choreo is done, we disperse and the music fades.

That's it! Let's all gather to take a picture (just because).

If you can't make it to this one, I'm sure we'll have another which you can initiate or work with someone else to ;).
