We are excited to introduce you to Embrace Tribe, a unique community built around a shared passion for Kizomba and deep connection in dance. While you can find the main details on our official page, we want to take a moment here to dive deeper into the essence of this movement and why it’s so much more than just dance.

More Than a Dance Group—A Tribe
Embrace Tribe is not just a collective of Kizomba dancers. It’s a community of like-minded individuals who share the same approach, mindset, and passion for movement, connection, and self-improvement. We believe that dancing in close embrace is about more than just holding someone—it’s about feeling, understanding, and truly connecting through music and body language.
Many dancers who love this style are often referred to as "huggers," but in Embrace Tribe, we use a different term: Embracers. For us, “Embrace” is not just about a physical hug—it’s a philosophy. It’s about technique, awareness, and growth, transforming the way we connect with both our partners and ourselves.
What Makes Embrace Tribe Different?
Some associate this style mainly with Douceur, but we take it a step further. Embracers incorporate more dynamics into their dance, moving beyond just standing in place to soft music. We embrace a wide range of musical styles and focus on fluid body movements rather than traditional step-heavy combinations. Instead of rigid footwork, we use Embrace Combinations—unique sequences based on body movement that allow for freedom, expression, and deep connection on the dance floor.
You can check out demos of these combinations on our Instagram, with more coming soon!
How Do We Train to Dance in Embrace?
Dancing in close embrace and achieving a profound connection with a partner takes practice and skill. To help dancers refine their abilities, we developed the KizFit and Mkiz programs, designed to enhance: ✔ Body awareness & control
✔ Musicality
✔ Breathing techniques
✔ Other essential tools for connection & technique
For us, being an Embracer is about continuous self-improvement. It’s about training not only the body but also the mind, making each dance a meaningful experience.
