Kizomba
Kizomba is one of the most popular genres of dance and music originating in Angola.
Kizomba is an evolution of the traditional semba dance of Angola, however, it is evident that kizomba dance as we know it today evolved after the vogue of kizomba music. Since the 1950s, Angolan people used to dance semba. This tradition remained unchanged even when the group Kassav from the French Caribbean island of Guadeloupe came to perform zouk music in Angola in the 1980s. In the 1990s, when the actual kizomba music got more and more popular, Angolan semba dancers started to adapt their semba steps according to the tempo and flavour of the Kizomba/zouk beats.
The Dominican way of dancing Bachata.
Bachata is a style of dance that originated in the Dominican Republic - It is now danced all over the world. Several slightly different styles have emerged but, unlike salsa, they all share the same basic step. nowdays it danced also faster in accordance to faster music, adding more footwork, turns/figures and rhythmic free style moves and with alternate between close (romantic) and open position (more playful adding footwork, turns/figures, rhythmic torso etc.). This dance is danced with soft hip movements and a tap with or without a small "pop" with the hip on the tab (1, 2, 3, Tap/Hip). Authentic Bachata was created by the Dominican social dancers over many years (from around the beginning of the sixties) for social dancing and is still evolving to this day.
