Kristofer Mencák thank you very much for this excellent video. Yeah, featuring copyrighted material is a minefield, but would it be possible for you to tell us which song you synched your steps, anyway? Then we can maybe source it from the rightful owner and play it in the background. Thanks again, maestro! :)

Glad you like it! The song was "Tú es a Mulher" - C4 Pedro. =)

[@dennisnderitu9901]

I watched this video like a dozen times before I was able to to execute the 3 moves this past weekend at a social dance. I've never felt so alive. Thanks man😁👍🏾

Great!! I am happy to hear you made it! Lovely to hear! Many more classes on www.kizombaclasses.com.

[@user-ci6wc2qj6j]

Отличная тема! С удовольствием просмотрел несколько раз! Всё разложено по полочкам) Спасибо!

[@user-ci6wc2qj6j]

С удовольствием посмотрел!)) Такие классные вещи дали!)) Красавчики!

[@Rahul-zy1ie]

The most interesting feature of your style is that you've given Kizomba a more personal touch; I've learned a lot from you.

Thank you! That means a lot to me! =)

[@dennisrichardsrichards8352]

Brilliant instruction. Thank you.

Thank you very much! =) Happy to hear you like it!

[@sergvit]

Kristofer, Mickaela, огромное спасибо за разбор техники!!! Давно ждал этого!!! Ваш стиль очень комфортный и красиво смотрится. С удовольствием включаю его в свой танец!

Thank you very much, Sergey! I am happy you like the style, and appreciate the class. =) All my courses are available on www.kizombaclasses.com.

[@alix743]

NOW, I'm feeling the taste of KIZ moves in this level, Bless you..**Please ignore the dislikes!! They are * Coronavirus* dancers.

Thank you! =) I am glad you like it! Yeah, I have always wondered about about those "dislikes". People who don't like to get free classes that other people actually would pay for. Another level of ungratefulness. But, we all chose our way of interaction with other people and the world. A positive way, or a negative way. Bless! =)

[@bhekidlamini1199]

Omg I so sorry guys the "Coronavirus dancers" had me dead 😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Very nice video I must say, clean explanation, Thank you very much for this

Thank you! =) I am happy you liked it!

[@Tracks777]

lovely video

Thank you very much! =)

[@stephanieg4950]

This is very generous to share however, if i may say, a lot is taken for granted so this is for advanced aware dancers. You are both very experienced and skilled! I would emphasize how the rib cage moves over the feet for weight transfer, while the core is engaged for both lead n follow. This is the key. I would also specify the lead's left frame/arm, and follower's right side/arm need to be close to the body and same resistance but also shape of the frames throughout (leaders tend to overpush and followers tend to forget resistance)..adding to Mikaela's comment about keeping connection. That is of course a hard concept and can be a long journey to truly grasp. Thank you I enjoyed these types of foot passes and it will refresh my patterns! Love it. I think leg passes are the coolest things on earth!

Thank you! Yes, as this is ONE class in ONE course there are many things that are covered in beginner and improver classes, and therefore simply assumed people know about. I am just trying to get some example classes out there from my online courses at www.kizombaclasses.com. =) Glad you like it!

[@alessandrofreire9635]

Que metodologia de ensino sensacional você tem, obrigado pelas dicas...certeza que vai mudar minha dança, não sabia desses vídeos vou assistir todos ✌🏼🇧🇷

Muito obrigado! =)

[@carrelichamekaghba893]

Très belle vidéo kristofer mencak vos vidéos m'inspire beaucoup je danse aussi la kizomba Fusion félicitations tu es le meilleur à la kizomba Fusion ton style est particulier beaucoup de technique 🙌🙏👌✌👍

Merci beaucoup! =) J'apprécie vos paroles. Je suis très content que vous ayez aimé la vidéo!

[@carrelichamekaghba893]

@ Je vous en prie, moi je vie au Gabon je télécharge toutes vos vidéos j'ai déjà mon propre style kizomba Fusion urban Kiz etc... mais a chaque fois que je suis vos il y'a une écriture dans vos mouvements une technique des pieds unique et cela me facine et j'ai beaucoup compris et appris en regrdant vos vidéos et vos explications bisous a Michaela une ravissante danseuse 👍👌✌

[@carrelichamekaghba893]

Et même aujourd'hui disons hier je fais de soirée kizomba salsa bachata semba et autre... j'ai exécuté les mouvements de votre démo sur les slides et très bien j'en étais fier parce que j'ai très bien compris le secret de la kizomba , la technique des pieds, avoirs un bon et beau guidage...et être en harmonie avec la musique sans oublier la connexion...entre le cavalier et la cavalière

[@doctornrsfnly]

This is brilliant. While it's a bit awkward it's VERY helpful if you can consistently show the figure with the leaders BACK to the Camera😊 Since we are watching on a screen it's sometimes hard to see where right vs left leg should go. When your back is to the camera is far easier for leaders to understand and follow. 😊😊 Thanks again for the great video. Subscribed and liked.

Thanks! =) Yes, good with all feedback! I tried to show in different directions, but just like you say, it is a bit weird to talk and instruct with the back towards the viewers. Might be mental, but still. Worth giving it a try next time. =) Glad you liked!

Bravo kristofer 6 il migliore al mondo👍👍

Grazie mille! =)

[@elpoppyb]

Great Kristofer! 👏👏🕺🕺 One of the my favourite Number One! 👍👍 Thanks thanks thanks 🙏🙏🙏 👋👋👋❤️💙💚

Thank you very much! =)

[@elpoppyb]

@ I live in Italy and I had the opportunity to take a lesson with you and Dinara Salikova in February 2020 at the Amanecer disco in Turin. Unfortunately due to covid the disco closed on the day of the lesson and has only recently reopened. I hope one day we can do it again to get to know you and learn from you. 🤷👋

@@elpoppyb Ok, nice! Yeah I hope it will soon be possible to come back. I have many events in Italy that were cancelled due to covid. I hope soon! =)

[@elpoppyb]

@ 👍👏🕺👋👋

[@deogratiashabiyambere4894]

thanks for sharing really liked the video . Really liked your explanations and your tips, even though i felt their was in the end too many moves. I would probably have broke it down in 3 videos . part 1 part 2 part 3.

Thank you very much! =) I am glad you liked it. As this is part of my online classes at www.kizombaclasses.com I have one topic per class. Maybe it is too many moves in it, but I wanted to give some different examples of slides, even though the technique is the same for all. =)

[@polgur6281]

Michaela looks great!

Thank you! =) I am happy to hear! Hmm.. .. you would have to ask Mickaela. I have no idea! ;)

[@habeshamood1327]

Awesome

Thank you! =)

[@MagicTango]

Thank you for the video! I hope more people will use tango moves in kizomba and urban kiz. Although of course, the technique might differ a bit. Such "barridas" and a few other moves have the so-called "magnet concept", it helps people to understand how to keep the foot connection.

[@MagicTango]

Lovely studio btw!

Thank you so much! =) Yeah, I like it a lot. It differs a bit I guess, but I think my technique is pretty similar. And, I also talk about "magnetic feet" - doing the slides with contact all the way, and the follower responds, so it is possible also to do them "reversed". =)

[@MagicTango]

@ yes! I tried to lead that move in kiz, at times it is harder )) because not everyone is used to keeping the contact and I am a beginner leader yet :).

@@MagicTango Yeah, it makes it more difficult if the followers don't keep that contact. You will get better at it! =) Don't worry!

[@MagicTango]

@ of course! Practice practice :)

[@reynan9622]

In Tango that what we call “Barrida”😉

Yes, it is called barrida in tango. My kizomba fusion is very inspired by tango moves. Barridas and ochos. =) Thank you!

[@user-zs8nk8od8g]

@ then why not just call it a barrida? :P

@@user-zs8nk8od8g Because I wrote in English. And this is not tango. =)

[@user-zs8nk8od8g]

@ debateable my friend. The move originated in tango as arrastre/ barrida. Urban kizomba borrows (steals is no credit is given) more and more from tango making it a fusion but still labelling it kizomba. Ok it's not tango, granted but it's not kizomba either. What's your take on it?

The move might have originated in tango, and it might not have. It could have been something that tango "borrowed" from another dance, as no dances appear in a vacuum. All dances take influence from other dances, just like music does. New styles are created. New dances are created. That is exactly the reason I call this "kizomba fusion" because it is kizomba, with some other influences. Others call what they dance Urban Kiz, because they have almost no basics from kizomba anymore. =)

[@luismiguelsanemeterio2741]

Sr. Kristofer, muchas gracias por la explicación de los pasos, posición de pies y brazo, contacto para deslizar pie de la chica, y yo perdoneme no se ingles salvo los numeros pero excelente explicación gracias

Muchísimas gracias! =) Me alegro que haya gustado, aunque la explicación es en inglés. =)

[@terkapak]

Hej, bra video! Jag har precis börjat lära mig Kizomba, jag ska testa det här nästa gång jag får chansen att dansa. Har du lagt märke till att bilden flimmrar lite i videon? Det beror troligtvis på att kameran varit inställd på fler än 25 bilder per sekund. I Sverige när man filmar i belysning från lysrör så lyser de egentligen inte med fast sken och blinkar 25 gånger per sekund i takt med elnätet. Har man snabbare frame-rate så ser det ut som om bilden flimmrar. Har man led-belysning kan det ibland vara omöjligt att komma till rätta med flimmret vilken frame-rate man än väljer.

Hej! =) Tack så mycket! Kul! Jo, jag märkte lite av det. Jag hade två led-lampor när jag filmade. Synd att jag inte visste innan. Tack! =)

Laisse tombé d'être prof de kizomba car la kizomba vient de l'Angola et là-bas ce sont les femmes qui dirigent c'est bizarre et toi tu dois venir de Amérique du Nord et c'est pour ça que tu connais rien 👎 👎👎👎👎👎👎... 🖖 🖖 🖖 974

Je sais que Kizomba vient d'Angola. C'est la technique Kizomba Fusion, si vous voulez bien lire la description. Et non, ce ne sont pas les femmes qui dirigent en Kizomba, même en Angola. Alors, peut-être devriez-vous lire un peu au lieu de venir avec des commentaires négatifs. Passe une bonne journée!
