For today’s dance of the day, we have a classy Kizomba number to Me Coça by Twenty Fingers. The dancers, Marine and Mika move with such grace and expertise that the dance feels almost effortless. Little flourishes like Mika gliding across the floor wow the viewer while showing off the talent of the pair.
Kizomba is a type of African dance that (while somewhat similar to ballroom dancing) focuses on moving with the music instead of repeating the same steps. We see this in Mika and Marine’s dance. They’re moving across the floor, but are using a lot of footwork with the occasional lifts to accentuate the performance.

- Kizomba is Supposed to Be Fun and Playful
Leadership appears to switch occasionally between the two partners and in that we see their own talents flourish. Marine exerts excellent control while lifting his partner and Mika is an absolutely unforgettable force, moving with such grace that the audience is unable to look away.
Kizomba is heavily dependent on the interaction between the two partners and the attitude of the dance is dependent upon them. We see in this video with the hip sways and lifts and turns an intimate exchange between the two partners. There’s a chemistry between the two that we the audience get to enjoy as we watch them dance.
