History

The Kizomba Kurse series, known for its vibrant celebration of Kizomba dance, was founded in Dortmund, Germany, in 2022. The initiative was born out of a passion for Kizomba and a desire to create a community where enthusiasts could come together to learn, dance, and celebrate this beautiful art form. The founders envisioned a space that would not only offer classes but also host festivals and events that would attract dancers from various backgrounds, fostering a sense of unity and cultural exchange.

Since its inception, the Kizomba Kurse has evolved significantly, transitioning from a local gathering to a recognized series of events in the salsa and Latin dance niche. The first editions, including the Summer and Winter Festivals in 2022, set the stage for future growth. These festivals featured a mix of workshops, social dancing, and performances, drawing in participants eager to immerse themselves in the Kizomba experience. As the series progressed, the events began to expand in scope, with plans for more elaborate festivals and collaborations with other dance congresses.

Notable editions of the Kizomba Kurse series include the 2023 event, "Pure Kizzz meets Infinity Kizomba Congress," which marked a significant milestone by bringing together international artists and dancers for a weekend of workshops and social dancing. The series continued to gain momentum with the announcement of the 2024 Summer and Winter Festivals, which promise to be even more ambitious, featuring a variety of activities and the celebration of the series' 7th anniversary. These events have become a staple in the local dance community, attracting participants from across Germany and beyond.

Despite its successes, the Kizomba Kurse series has faced challenges, including the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, which forced the cancellation of several planned events. However, the resilience of the organizers and the community's dedication to the dance form have allowed the series to adapt and thrive. Today, the Kizomba Kurse is recognized as a significant player in the Kizomba dance scene, known for its welcoming atmosphere and commitment to promoting the joy of dance.

As of now, the Kizomba Kurse continues to flourish, with a packed schedule of events planned for the coming years. The series has established a reputation for high-quality workshops and engaging festivals, making it a must-attend for Kizomba enthusiasts. With its focus on community and celebration, the Kizomba Kurse remains a vital part of Dortmund's cultural landscape, inviting dancers of all levels to join in the rhythm and joy of Kizomba.
