Kizomba is a close dance, period. Offcource you can keep a safe distance and we also teach how to do that BUT.....that isn't Kizomba.
This doesn't mean you have to dance close with everyone but when you dance Kizomba then choose;
- dance it how it's supposed to be,
- don't dance (& friendly suggest to dance the next Salsa) or
- dance ballroom style.
