@kizo.love is BACK in Rochester and if you know… you KNOW. 🔥 One of the most consistent artists in North America, Babs brings a level of mastery, musicality, and cultural foundation that is unmatched. His ability to break things down in a way that’s clear, digestible, and actually usable on the dance floor is what sets him apart. And let’s talk about that body movement and tarraxinha… chef’s kiss. 😮‍🔥 He’s not new to our city—Babs has been a key part of helping build the Kizomba scene here, and we’re beyond excited to welcome him back for Spring Fling. The man is a full-on dancing machine and will keep that floor PACKED all night long. ✨ Don’t miss him: • Friday 4/24 – Pre-party workshop at 8PM • Saturday 4/25 – Afternoon workshop Full passes are almost gone—don’t wait. Individual workshops: $30 (Saturday only) Socials: $15 each or $25 for both (door only) This is not the one to sit out.

Still buzzing from Saturday’s Heels class 🔥 Huge shoutout to Hope for collaborating on this incredible, super fun choreography — the energy in the room was unreal. And a big thank you to Mina from Midia Creative for capturing the magic on video (and photos!). Her talent behind the camera is next level, and I can’t wait to share the full photo gallery with you all later this week.

Last night’s Heels class was EPIC. Completely sold out. So many brand new faces. So many beautiful returning smiles. And from start to finish? The energy was electric. We didn’t just learn choreography — we owned it. Every single woman in that room showed up with confidence, openness, and the kind of positive vibes that make the space feel powerful and safe all at once. Watching this sisterhood grow month after month is something I don’t take lightly. What we’re building in that room is bigger than dance. One of my favorite moments of the night was raffling off two FREE Brazilian waxes from my incredible friend at @thewaxroomroc . I’m so proud to collaborate with and uplift another woman-owned local business. Community supporting community is what this is all about. A tremendous thank you to the amazing @vibe_visions Hope for capturing so much amazing video and photos from our classes. She is THE best! I am beyond thrilled with how these classes have grown — and I cannot wait to r

Such an honor to assist Babs again this weekend at Gizem’s KZK event 🤍 Our dance history goes way back, and every time we share the floor it feels like both a reunion and a masterclass. Babs is truly a pillar in the North American Kizomba community — one of the most consistent instructors over the past decade, a dedicated community builder, and the driving force behind Kizo Fest. He brings style, grace, and an incredibly high level of instructional talent everywhere he goes. And beyond all of that? He’s a kick-ass dancer who makes every partner feel safe, seen, and completely at ease. And a heartfelt thank you to Gizem for the vision and leadership behind this event. What you’re working towards in Rochester matters, and I appreciate you. Your commitment to growing Kizomba (and community as a whole) takes courage, consistency, and real heart. Events like this don’t just happen — they’re created through intention and dedication. I’m so grateful for the invitation to assist and to co
