It's More Fun With Friends. The More the Merrier!
Learning to dance Kizomba in Houston, TX and/or Pearland, TX is not a scary experience. It is actually a lot of fun! We are not there to make you feel silly for not getting it right the first time. We know that everything takes a little time, and also a little laughter to get it just right. If you have signed up, invite your friends to join. They will be glad you did!Popular Questions asked by new students
If I signed up by myself, with whom will I dance?
No partner is required for any of our dance bootcamps. We ask everyone to pre-register so we can even out the class as the days get closer. If we have more ladies, we will look for more guys or viceversa. We usually get 50/50 gender ratio, so do not worry, you will dance with different people. We create a large circle and you start with one partner and then move on to the next and so on. You will make friends fast!
I can't make it this time around, will you offer this Bootcamp again?
Possibly in the future. We visit different cities around the US and the world to introduce Kizomba dance and music to different groups of students. We may return to your city in the near future if interest continues to grow.
If I paid for the bootcamp and I can't attend because something came up, what happens to my payment?
We only allow 48 hours prior the bootcamp to process a refund in the event that you can not make it. That will give us enough time to find another person to fill the spot. If you simply do not show, your money will be invested in studio rental and food purchases. All sales are final. You may transfer your ticket to another party, just let us know 832-413-2623
What do I wear?
Men: casual/dressy clothes and dress shoes recommended. No shorts. No wifebeaters.
Ladies: casual/dressy clothes and low heel / flat shoes recommended
Note that Sandals and rubber sole shoes are not recommended.
Do I need to know any dancing?
No! You do not need to know anything. This is a 101 course designed for the absolute beginners, for people that have no clue about how to dance and like to get started. We will train each and everyone one of you to dance from level zero. We will give you little exercises to practice with different people and as the bootcamp progresses we will review and introduce new exercises. At the end you will leave with a nice pattern and also a video of it that you can refer to so you can continue practicing and improving your technique. We will teach you in a stress free, welcoming atmosphere. Everyone that join this bootcamp wants to learn how to dance with style and elegance. No need to feel intimidated!
What is a couple?
Our definition of a couple is not restricted to just significant others. So it means if you and your friend or family member want to attend, please register as a couple. It just needs to be a male/female combination. When you register, please include the name of your partner or friend.

Why do I need to Pre-register?
No walk-ins please. You need to pre-register to help us get a good head count to buy the proper amount of snacks, drinks, to have the right size facility available, and to keep an even men to ladies ratio. No partner necessary (but encouraged). We normally get a 50/50 Male to Female ratio at most of our Bootcamps - So ladies... if you are worried there won't be any men... RELAX! :) PrePayment online or by phone with Credit Card is recommended. All transactions are 100% secure and conducted by PayPal.
