Get ready to fall in love with Kizomba! We're thrilled to announce that Jennifer Barreto of Orlando Kizomba is coming to The Dance Factory Tampa Bay to teach a monthly Kizomba Workshop on 4th Sundays, from 2 PM - 4 PM!

Kizomba is a beautiful, romantic partner dance from Angola, with the word “Kizomba” meaning “party” in Kimbundu! In this immersive workshop, you'll learn the origins, basic steps, rhythm, and timing, along with essential leading and following techniques.

Whether you're brand new to Kizomba or looking to refine your moves, you'll love the playful nature and close connection this dance offers. Come let loose and express your inner Ginga (feminine) and Banga (masculine) as we explore the rich musicality of this expressive dance together!

Ticket prices include the dance social event until 9pm right after!
