🔴Best way to de-stress after work in welcoming environment - learning to dance produces dopamine and sorotonin (mood boosting hormones)
🟡Kizomba is basically a 🫂hug with rhythm - low-impact, feel-good movement that melts stress, improves posture, and lets your nervous system exhale—no treadmill required.😉
🔴Instant social life—no awkward small talk. You meet new people without having to ask, “So… what do you do?” The dance already did the talking.
🟡Your brain gets a workout too - Learning musicality, connection, and subtle leading/following keeps your mind sharp… plus you’ll suddenly walk like you’re in a movie soundtrack.
🔴Renew your confidence and sense of self with good music and friendly diverse people
🟡Boost memory - learning to patterns of steps enhances brain plasticity
🔴Improve focus - dance lessons force your brain and body to stay in sync with rhythm and movement
🟡Reduce anxiety - dancing activity lowers cortisol and releases endorphins
🔴Improve motor skills - mild cardio movement activates both hemispheres of the brain and protects against aging

Flexible/loose clothes (jogging pants, shorts) will help with movement. Some students come to class straight from work, so business casual is also fine.
Dance shoes are NOT required, but encouraged. Most "newbies" come in flats or low heel shoes. Men are encouraged to hear shoes with soft top not to hurt followers' toes as both are learning.
Proper dance shoes will make the class experience more comfortable and enjoyable. We have recommendations on both AFFORDABLE and QUALITY practice and social dance shoe options - CONTACT US.
