Helping you connect more in kizomba!
“Physics doesn’t give a DAMN about your gender!”
“What if we could keep the idea of lead and follow, but toss the idea that this was connected to gender? Further, what if a couple could lead and follow each other, and then switch, and then switch back? What if it could be like a conversation, taking turns listening and speaking?”
“Just be yourself”
“We dance with a consciousness that this is a historic form that can produce silence, and produce invisibility, across the spectrum of identity that we enjoy today.”
Just a few awesome quotes from this video.
Of course in blues and even lindy we’ve had strong advocates for switch dancing for years. So I don’t really agree with their claim to have “invented” liquid leading. Still, it’s nice to see this finally being presented in salsa and ballroom. Can we bring it to kizomba?
