Introduction
Musicality in Kizomba refers to the ability to interpret and express music through movement. Great dancers don’t just memorize steps—they feel and embody the music.
Key Elements of Kizomba Musicality
- Timing: Understand the beat structure (1-2-3-4).
- Phrasing: Dance movements should reflect lyrical changes.
- Accents & Breaks: Recognize musical pauses and adjust movement accordingly.
- Flow: Stay connected to the tempo and rhythm of the song.
Exercises to Improve Musicality
- Listen to Kizomba, Semba, and Zouk regularly.
- Count beats aloud while walking in rhythm.
- Experiment with slow, controlled movements to match the music’s mood.
- Dance without a partner to develop natural body movement.
Mastering musicality transforms a good dancer into a great one.
