This unique and easy to understand method towards teaching Kizomba allowed Charles to become a full time professional Kizomba instructor in 2014. Charles has taught his Neo Kizomba method across 4 countries, 9 congresses, 23 cities, in over 30+ workshops in 2014 alone! 2) Neo Kizomba is also used to describe the newer styles of Kizomba music that is being produced in more recent times that is influenced by hip-hop and R&B. Zouk Bass, ghetto zouk, are some term used to describe newer music, but not all of the newer is heavy on the bass. Neo Kizomba includes, but is not limited to ghetto zouk, it categorizes the newer music that is not traditional or "retro". 3) Neo Kizomba also categorizes the newer styles of dancing Kizomba vs a more traditional style of dancing Kizomba. These newer more modern styles of dancing Kizomba emerged with the newer styles of music that have been produced. Dancers/Instructors such as Albir Rojas, Isabelle & Felicien, Enah Lebon, Cymeone all have non-traditional way of dancing Kizomba. ====BIOS==== Laurent and Adeline, a.k.a L&A Kizomba, are an international couple of kizomba teachers.
