Ginga Art Intensive Course Level I by Vanessa Ginga Pura
Dancing kizomba with awareness – a key focus for me as a kizomba dancer and instructor. This year 2019 is all about increasing this awareness from different perspectives (background, history, culture, evolution, styles, partner work, solo, shows, etc). In all this, foundation comes first. As it is in everything: if a foundation is weak or missing, a construction is meant to collapse, sooner or later. Hence, building solid basics. Where shall we start?
A relationship with a taxi-dancer?!
Our relationship started in a couple dance world (read the story How We Met here), which would be already not an easy thing for many. Add to this one of us being a very popular and highly demanded taxi-dancer and you get a supposedly pretty tricky, or some may even say a doomed case.

Every coin has two sides. So does everything in the world. Dark and light, good and bad, positive and negative – you give it your name.

Conflicts are needed to avoid stagnation.
Episode 1 – The story begins
“…Once upon a time there were two passionate dancers and a talented camera man… On a beautiful sunny winter day they joined their forces to tell you the following story…”
“No, kizomba is not for me, it’s too close…”
This is quite a controversial topic, which we would like to look deeper into in this blog.
Controversial, because kizomba is a close dance. However, what is this closeness exactly? Where does it come from? Does it have to be like this?
