Frequently asked questions
What people usually ask before the first class.

- No. Classes are individual or in a small group. You work on technique and connection without bringing a partner.
- 02Kizomba vs Bachata: which should I learn first?

- Yes. The basic step is approachable and you work on body presence from the first class. It is one of the most comfortable dances to start with.
