What students say

They place great emphasis on good technique, which helps you develop a solid foundation. This makes it easier to learn new figures and steps later on.

Kiko and Christina are great. The moves you learn from them can be used immediately at socials.

From the very beginning, you're guided and receive excellent support, even without any prior dance experience. The classes incorporate a lot of humor, which makes the learning environment pleasant and motivating.

They are super skilled and also know exactly what is suitable for social dance parties... They can help you develop strong foundations and nurture your unique flow.

Kiko and Christina are simply fantastic – always in a good mood, motivated and incredibly professional. I look forward to every class and can only recommend it to anyone who wants to learn to dance with passion. Thank you both!

FAQ

Do I need a partner?

No — come alone. We rotate regularly so everyone dances with different partners.

What experience do I need?

None. The course starts from scratch — for complete beginners and those who want to strengthen their foundations.

What makes this different from regular dance classes?

At KCDS you don’t just learn steps — you learn connection, rhythm and genuine body awareness. International professionals in small groups, not mass instruction.

What if I miss a class?

Course videos and regular review keep you on track. Missed lessons can’t be made up.

What should I wear?

Wear comfortable clothes. Please take off your street shoes at the entrance and change into clean, comfortable shoes with a smooth sole.

You don’t need experience—just the courage to take the first step.
