Lessons
Castle of Dance is a dance school in Amsterdam where we teach Kizomba, Kizomba Fusion, Urban Kiz, Semba, Tarraxinha, Ladystyling, Lady Technique, High Heel Technique, Menstyling, and Afrohouse. Chamalo, Kizomba World Champion 2016, started Castle of Dance in 2016. Kizomba, traditionally an Angolan dance, made its way to Europe and all corners of the world many years ago. At Castle of Dance, we specialize in all Kizomba styles, in order to give you the best learning experience. Our goal is simple: we want to help you grow - not only as a dancer, but also as a person. That is why we have the best teachers at Castle of Dance! At Castle of Dance we don't only focus on a choreo but also on the technique. We do different exercises to work on this technique, which we put to use in a choreo at the end of every lesson. Your teachers will work with you on your style, technique, flow, energy, basics, musicality, creativity, and more! Expect lessons where you will be challenged in your dancing, combined with a lot of fun and passion!
We focus on technique rather than only moves, because with the right technique, you can create your own moves and style.
To ensure an optimal learning environment, our lessons last two hours and are always accompanied by free dancing in every lesson.
We are one of the few dance schools in the Netherlands who also focus on the origins, history, and culture of the dance.
Castle of Dance offers some of the best teachers who are trained by Chamalo (Kizomba world champion 2016).

At Castle of Dance, integrity is truly important. That is why only those who master the right techniques may proceed to a certain level. Unless your level has been approved by one of our teachers at Castle of Dance, your spot in a certain level cannot be guaranteed. By doing so, we keep the standards of our dance school as high as possible.
Required for new students (Improvers to Advanced): before purchasing a ticket, you have to do a level check. When you purchase a ticket without level check, the ticket will be cancelled. See our schedule to find out when you can do a level check.
