Music n Moves Talk: See gentlemen, you dont need a million steps to dance kizomba. You do however, have to express the music and need body isolations to do that...ladies ALSO need body awareness to respond to his body moves, in a coordinated and smooth way. Although this may look like grinding to those who dont know how to move this way, its absolutely not. Semba itself means touch of the bellies. Belly touches can go to the rhythm and make it fun. In kizomba, they are can be used as touches OR morphed into body waves to make it more sensual. The more you get into isolations then we get into tarraxinha and u use ur knees more than arms. (In a body wave, when your belly or sternum is forward, your pelvis is BACK. Because you are staggered, when your pelvis moves forward, your quads roll off of each other. Thats why there is no grinding or inappropriate pelvic touches. Sometimes height differences can make the bodies not fit as well....so u need to adjust moves and movements.) Albir is using only body movements for the entire song, and he is very gentle, taking his time. His hands are at her ribcage for body rolls and belly touches, and UNDER the ribcage when he wants her hips to isolate. Notice how he expresses what he hears. Ladies: See how Carola is very present with him and isnt TRYING to look good or exaggerate her movement. She is focusing on his knee connection and not letting her back leave his hand. aha! think about that one! Enjoy!
