What is urban kiz?
Urban Kiz is a modern and expressive partner dance that evolved from Kizomba, incorporating influences from hip-hop, tango, and electronic music. It focuses on musicality, connection, and smooth, controlled movements, making it both elegant and dynamic.
In our classes, you will learn technique, body control, leading & following skills, and musical interpretation, whether you're a beginner or looking to refine your style. If you want to refine your technique and transform into a light leader or follower who truly dances, not just steps, these classes are perfect for you!
