The "Dancing with the Stars" series has sprouted new and enduring interest in ballroom dancing; health practitioners are promoting dancing as a healthy exercise for physical fitness as well as prevention of dementia and Alzheimers.  I remember the joy at age 11 learning the 2-step (poor man's fox trot?) to "You Belong to Me" and the hesitation waltz to "Tennessee Waltz" at Francisco Jr. High in San Francisco; later the thrill of "getting it" after learning to jitterbug, and still later the mambo …

Kizomba is a beautiful and sensual partner dance, originally from Africa, which is taking the world by strom. For experienced dancers, it is an exciting breath of fresh air. The basics are comfortable to slip into, yet, the dance is challenging enough to keep anyone dancing it for years to come. This also makes Kizomba perfect for anyone wanting to enter the world of dance. A beginner can enjoy the pleasure of social dancing much quicker than with other types of partner dances. Kizomba was deriv …

What is Kizomba? Kizomba is a sensual dance that originated in Angola in the '80s. The word 'kizomba' means 'party' in the Angolan language Kimbundo. It is a fusion of Semba, the predecessor of Samba with Zouk music of the French Caribbean Islands. Kizomba is more laid back than tango but more intimate, slow and sensual than salsa. In the last few years, Kizomba has quickly spread throughout Europe via Portugal. Now it is taking its place in the USA. Kizomba Classes with Bay Area's most favorite …

These days, most of the dance clubs and social meetup groups are focused on music from the 80s and later, from hair metal to house to hip-hop to funk/R&B to DJ mashups and the like.

Well, THIS IS IT! Dancing to live mus …
