Valentino & Joan

Valentino & Joan (#vjkiz) are a dance couple performing and teaching Kizomba/Urban Kiz around Europe. They’re based in Stockholm, Sweden and teach at iDance dance school.

Their style is dynamic and upbeat with lots of lifts, dips and tricks. Particularly, they like to reflect fitness in their dancing. They also strive to tell a story with their dance and connect with each other through close and open positions. In their shows they combine storytelling through contemporary and powerful dance through upbeat Urban Kiz.

Their classes are all about technicality, connection in all possible settings and dynamic moves. To achieve this they create a fun and social environment that makes their students feel comfortable to express themselves and make mistakes in a safe zone. Their workshops have an excellent rating and the most common feedback is about their pedagogical teaching.

In 2015 they were the GB Kizomba North West Champions and vice champions in the GB Kizomba Competition /Africadan
