Urban Kiz is a modern partner dance that originated from Kizomba, Semba, and other dance styles from PALOP countries (Portuguese-speaking African countries). Originating in France, Urban Kiz has integrated a multitude of other styles (hip-hop, tango) and is danced to music with elements from Hip-hop, R&B, Ghetto-Zouk, Afrobeats, and much more!

You do not need a partner to attend! We rotate frequently during our classes so you can experience dancing with different people. If you come with a partner and do not wish to rotate, rotation is not required.

Comfortable and breathable clothes that you don’t mind sweating in and allow for flexibility. If you do not own dance shoes, then we recommend comfortable shoes with a smooth bottom sole that allows for turning and twisting.

If you are coming for the first time, your first class is free!!

After your free trial class, registration is required for our Mondays Level 1 Introductory Series and Thursday All Levels class. Please register on our Classes & Schedule page. Specialty bootcamp series, other workshops, and Level 2+ drop are open for drop ins.

If you’re coming for the first time, your first class is free!!

Otherwise drop-ins are allowed for our Level 2+ class on Mondays. Drop-ins are NOT ALLOWED for our Thursday All Levels class, and registration is required for our Level 1 Introductory Series after your first free trial class.
