A festival of Connection • Presence • Musicality

What if we stopped learning more steps… and started feeling more?
Welcome to a different kind of Kizomba festival.

A festival where we strip the dance back to what brought many of us to Kizomba in the first place:

The connection. The music. The feeling of truly dancing together.

January 8th - 9th - 2027

Throughout the festival, different teachers will share their own perspectives and approaches – but every workshop will explore the same three foundations:

CONNECTION • PRESENCE • MUSICALITY

No complicated combinations to memorize.
No endless sequences of steps.
No pressure to perform.

Instead, we explore the space between two people. How do we listen to each other through the embrace?

How can the smallest movement become a conversation?

How do we stay present instead of thinking about what comes next?

How can we hear more in the music – and express it together?

Örebro 8th to 9th of Janaury 2027

The fusion between dance and connection

We will work with things like body awareness, communication, leading and following, subtle movement, intention, listening, musical interpretation and the quality of the embrace.

And then we take it all to the dance floor.

Because this isn't about dancing more. It's about feeling more in what we already dance.

Whether you are relatively new to Kizomba or have been dancing for years, you are invited to slow down, listen deeper and discover new layers of connection.

Different teachers. Different perspectives. One shared intention.

No steps. No patterns. No tricks. Just connection. Workshops by day. Social dancing by night. Come as you are. Meet. Listen. Feel. Connect.

Kiz'n'Connect

with Nina

Finding your way to flavor your dance beyond the steps. Micromovements, musicality and space. How can both leaders and followers season the dance with a personal touch? Maybe invite some inspiration from other dance styles? Or include some consentual touch? How do we communicate that?
