This is not a recent dance video, but it is definitely worth more attention. In this video Ben Pedrosa and Ana are fusing kizomba with a little bit of tango. They filmed this after one of their workshops in Marseille, dancing in front of their students and showcasing newly learned steps and moves in their demo.
The music has a melodic, tango-like sound, but with a distinct kizomba beat. As they dance, Ben and Ana incorporate sensual body movements from both kizomba and tango to create a smooth, intimate routine. Viewers left enthusiastic comments about the video. One wrote, “I’m amazed by these two. I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve rewatched their videos!”

It’s clear Ben and Ana have an incredible connection and creativity with dance. They seamlessly meld two styles—the slow, close movements of kizomba and the passion of tango. It takes skill and musicality to blend genres like this. As they dance, Ben guides Ana with subtle hand cues. She responds intuitively to each lead, and they flow as one unit.
For those new to kizomba, it originated in Angola and is danced in pairs to a slow, romantic rhythm. Partners stay in a close embrace and take small, grounded steps to the beat. Hip motion and body waves are key elements that create a subtle, flirtatious dynamic between the lead and follow.
