Good Lifestyle

YouTube is often accused of frivolity. It is said that he makes the youth addicted to strange trends. But for all its flaws, there's one thing that's hard not to admit: YouTube knows how to bring culture back to life. And sometimes even the one that has almost disappeared in the maelstrom of the modern world.

One such wonder is kizomba, a tender, passionate dance from Angola that was born in the 1970s. Its name means "party" in the Kimbundu language, but behind that word is a whole world of emotions. Kizomba is not just movements, but a conversation between two bodies, breathing in one rhythm. And it was YouTube that became the place where this culture was revived, blossomed and captured millions of hearts around the world.

Below you'll find some videos that you can't watch without smiling and wanting to get up and try it right away.

Isabel and Felicien - "Mil Pasos" (Fusion Kizomba 2018, Rome)

If kizomba had a face, it would be them. Isabelle and Félicien move as if they are not listening to music, but to their own hearts. Their choreography to Soha's "Mil Pasos" is a little cinematic love poem: the city breathes fire, the streets are engulfed in darkness, and they just dance. And it seems that even the air between them sings.

David Campos and Guida Rey - "Magico" (Houston)

Their dance is not a performance, but a conversation without words. The camera catches their every breath, every touch, and the feeling that they dissolve in the music. Guida and David transform "Magico" into a story of trust, tenderness and passion. If you are showing someone kizomba for the first time, show this particular video. We warn you: after it, you won't be able to sit still.

Isabel and Felicien again - KiMa Festival 2021

Yes, we mention them twice - and for good reason. At the KiMa festival, this couple proves that kizomba is the art of silence between steps. Their movements are soft, confident, almost weightless. They combine the classics of the genre with modern improvisation, reminding us that traditions do not disappear. They just change shape.

Jack and Sarah - "Experience" by Ludovico Einaudi

If you thought kizomba couldn't be a movie, watch this. Jack and Sarah dance to “Experience” and every frame is as tense as before a kiss. The light is soft, the rhythm is slow, and between them there is something more than movement. This is not just a dance, but a love story that only happens once.

Sarah Lopez is a solo powerhouse

Sarah is a legend. She dances in such a way that even those who have never tried kizomba begin to understand its essence. Her lessons are not just training, but a dialogue: "Move, breathe, listen." Lopez shows that dance can be intimate even without a partner. She teaches with love, which is why her videos are watched not only by beginners, but also by professionals who are looking for inspiration.
