Hi Brian,
Thank you for the article. Would be great if you could mention which of these parties are Urban kiz/fusion, which are kizomba.
Some people prefer a certain style. Would be great to know which one is which.
One of the greatest authentic Kizomba parties in Paris I know if of, is “Back to Basic”, for example.
Regards.
Hi Elena,
You made a good point! Some of the events are hosted by different Dj’s so it really depends on the night.
For example, at Saida, they played Urban Kiz, Kiz Fusion, Traditional Kizomba, and Semba throughout the night.
At the Eiffel Tower Kizomba Festival, the DJs did a great job of playing Urban Kiz, Kiz Fusion, Traditional Kizomba, Semba, etc.
For both LPK & Libertalia I would say they were more Urban Kiz and Kiz fusion.
I will try to add this information in the next update.
Thanks for your comment!
Brian
Hi Brian!
Thanks for a great article!
One question, did you find anything on wednesdays? I’m looking for something to start off with before the tarraxofestival which begins on a thursday. Now that Kao Suey is not there I don’t know where to look.
Kind regards,
Anna
Hi Anna,
Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to find any places to dance Kizomba on Wednesday nights. You might want to reach out to Echo Ogna on Facebook and see if he has any recommendations for you. He is the organizer for the Eiffel Tower Kizomba Festival and another Kizomba Festival in Paris. Enjoy the Tarraxo Festival next month!
Regards,
Brian
Hi Brian!
Thank you, I will try to contact him.
Kind regards,
Anna
Brilliant intel, thanks Brian.
Do you know of any DAYTIME Kizomba dancing in Paris?
Indoors, at a park, classes, practice, doesn’t matter.
Especially during the spring: May and beyond…
Thanks, I am not aware of any daytime Kizomba events in Paris. Most of the dancing outdoors at the main square areas that I saw was Salsa and Bachata. Hopefully, Paris will have some new Kizomba daytime events next summer!
Brian
Hi Brian,
Thank you for your good reportage.
Did you find anything for Friday or Saturday or Sunday in Central Paris?
We are going February 18-21 then flying to Benin for West African Kizomba Festival and then return to Paris March 1-4, so we have some good opportunities to dance.
Thanks ,
Suzanne
Hi Suzanne,
Unfortunately, I didn’t find any good spots to dance Kizomba on the weekends.
Have a good trip and let me know if you find any new places to dance.
