UrbanKiz class

What is the difference between Kizomba and Urban Kiz? The main differences between Kizomba and Urban Kiz are: In Urban Kiz the dancers generally keep more distance to each other. There is no connection in the chest. Urban Kiz is not a circular dance but rather danced in a more linear way. In Urban Kiz legs are generally more straight, compared to Kizomba where you have slightly bent knees. The feeling in Urban Kiz is more “up” compared to Kizomba which is very grounded. The energy in Urban Kiz is different, with more tension in the body to make it possible to quickly change directions, do syncopations, taps, etc. In addition to these differences, Urban Kiz has also included many moves and inspiration from other dances, like Hip Hop, Tango, Semba Show, Brazilian Zouk, Salsa, and Bachata, while almost eliminating typical moves like vírgula for example. Dancing Urban Kiz looks very different. Urban Kiz is not a circular dance but danced in more straight lines. But, not everyone dances either one of these two dances. (by Kizomba Channel)
