DANCING IS LIFE: Explore Kizomba with Our Kizomba Connection
Come and experience the beauty of Kizomba —the soulful Angolan dance and music style that has captured hearts worldwide. In the Kimbundu dialect of Angola, Kizomba means ” PARTY!” and that’s exactly the energy we bring to every class at Our Kizomba Connection (OKC) Vamos Kizombada!
Kizomba is more than just dance—it’s about sharing good vibes, connection, and musicality with a partner. Physically and emotionally connected, Kizomba has the look and feel of the gracious Tango dance from Argentine, but its deep roots lie in African and Caribbean rhythms. Beautiful rhythms, emotional vocals, and the breathing of the songs take over your entire body. The rich tunes spark your creativity and musicality taking you on a unique creative journey every time.
At Our Kizomba Connection (OKC), we teach all the diverse styles under the Kizomba umbrella, including Semba (the mother of kizomba), Kizomba, Tarraxinha. But also the European styles Urban Kiz, Tarraxa and Kizomba Fusion.
We proudly offer Kizomba classes in Amsterdam, Almere, and Utrecht, ensuring that everyone can access the joy of Kizomba!
- For beginners, we focus on the essentials—core connection, leading, and following—enabeling you to step onto the dance floor confidently.
- For more experienced dancers, we enrich your creativity, sharpen your dance techniques, and help you dive deeper into musicality.
- We educate our dancers on dance ethics, fostering a safe, inclusive, and fun environment where everyone can express their passion and feeling through dance.
Be sure to check our schedule for upcoming events, bootcamps, classes (lessen) and workshops in Amsterdam and surrounding areas. Our dance school also regularly participates in Kizomba festivals, socials and congresses, offering you the opportunity to meet and dance with an international community.

"Kevin and Marleen are two dedicated and talented teachers! Their drive to pass on the true essence of the Kizomba spirit is astonishing. They focus on techniques and skills to improvise, not only to learn a choreo. A well-deserved recommendation!"
