[#OnKizomba] Great vibes, nice dance! Jojo & Mickaela Urban Kiz Dance @ Feeling Kizomba Festival 2017

🔥🔥🔥 Ryan Leslie - Addiction (JB Remix) / Jojo & Mickaela Urban Kiz Dance @ Feeling Kizomba Festival 2017 🔥🔥🔥

This workshop was kizomba fusion, where Jojo & Mickaela focused on teaching us combination.

Combination, steps are unimportant, but one thing that I remember even today is how confident and clear Jojo’s leading and Mickaela’s following was.

There is no question in their minds, no second guessing - just sharp, clear movements.

Even if you just do saida, lead it clearly, don’t change your mind in the last moment.

That’s a mistake I keep doing myself and try to fix.

Always finish the movement you had in mind, don’t change steps because of music.

Instead adjust the steps to the music 😃

For example… If there is a break in music - just stop where you are.

…

Jojo knows this and have mastered it!

P.S. Offtopic warning: This reminds me of reading about Michael Jordan, how during every break between playing seasons he added ONE new move so competitors could never figure him out. Focus is on ONE.

I keep catching myself every few days learning a new move, but not mastering it. Then in the end I forget some of the moves and don’t use them. What’s the point of learning many moves then in the first place?

Now I am focusing on spending several days on one move, slowing it down, understanding the smallest body weight changes, leading, hand/head movements - in the end I will have mastered one move and it will become permanent part of my body.

Quality not quantity. And yes, if you are asking - this week is slow motion week. So far I’ve practice 8-count combination for 3 days in row, 1 hour a day.

Instead of getting bored, actually new world will open for you, if you slow down and really analyse what you are doing.

… Anyhoo…enough of me talking… :D

Now time for you to enjoy this amazing dance - be inspired!

And remember to…

Play! Enjoy! Share the love of kizomba further!

And of course, everyone loves flips!

Jojo knows not only how to lead circular movements in kizomba , but also make circles in air!!!

(Yes, I am teasing you to watch the video AGAIN! ;))

Event: Feeling Kizomba Festival 2017 (Official Event): https://www.facebook.com/events/1750868445183992/

This festival is one of the oldest kizomba festivals in the world, on the same level as Paris Kizomba Congress!

It was huge, sometimes a bit too crowded, but manageable! Still had enough space!

Girls were in awe of high level dancers and great ratio. There were a bit more ladies, but just a little! Reasonable! Recommended!
