About this Event

Semba Solos Intensive is a workshop where I will teach you to improve your confidence when dancing Semba or Kizomba with or without a partner. Semba solos introduces a approach to African dances which teaches women to dance alone to Semba or (faster) Kizomba. In African dance cultures women don't need a partner to dance, Ladies gather in small circles and dance between themselves... Men then are welcome to join the circle or invite the lady to dance from the circle. In festival environments, where the ratio of ladies are usually greater than man, this attitude to the dance will teach you to enjoy Kizomba and Semba without always having to rely on a partner to dance. I will show you a variety of dance moves and styles with different bpm's (beats per minute) to fit to everyones taste and personalities as well as practically showing a way you can introduce some of them whilst dancing with a partner. Workshops start at 5.30 sharp and we will be having a few small breaks for refreshments.
