Philippe e Rita

Rita has been dancing since she was four, from Ballet to Contemporary, through Belly Dancing. More recently, she was introduced to salsa and later to Kizomba, where she found the passion for teaching this African dance.

Philippe discovered Kizomba as a music style when he was 12 years old, influenced by the traditions of his neighborhood. Starting his first steps on Kizomba and Semba, he changed his route to Urban Kiz.

Urban Kiz brought us together! We combined our musicality, technique and creativity to stand out with a unique style. Our authenticity results from a combination between the basics of this Angolan dance and our own influences.
