ABOUT MEGGIE AND SCHILLER:
Schiller, entrepreneur and Konpa melomaniac had a dream: structuring Konpa dancing in order to teach it to everybody and make it accessible to anyone who'd like to learn, bringing the Konpa tradition to a social level.
He met Meggie, a dancer with 15 years of experience, on the dance floor of the Blueprint studio in Montreal while enjoying Konpa and Kizomba. That’s when they decided to join forces, breaking down the steps on moves they’d learned in their childhood and as they were growing up in Haiti.
Today they’ve taught hundreds of students in their Montreal-based school, Dance Select Canada, and at recognized festivals like Groove ‘N Kizomba, Global Tarraxo, Kiz ‘N the 6th, and many more.

Kizomba & Semba Intensive Training with Kirsi VanSol
Welcome to a day of expanding your knowledge of Kizomba and Semba! This training is for dancers that really want to dive deep into their technique and musicality.
VERY LIMITED spots and a balanced ratio of followers and leaders, so sign up quickly to secure a spot.
ALL LEVELS! Content will be adapted to the participants. Dancers with experienced will get the opportunity to level up. Beginners will get a nice jump start.
PART 1: Dancers Technique in Kizomba & Semba (All levels)
We go through your body from head to toe to help you be a great dance partner, no matter what your current dance level. You’ll learn to maintain your health and longevity as a dancer – so you get ever stronger and more elegant in your posture, on and off the dance floor, and increase your ability to learn new techniques with any teacher in the future. �You’ll learn the correct weight shift and body movement, grounding for balance, adapting to different partners etc.
PART 2: Musicality 1 (All levels)
You will learn about different styles of music and what the music tells you as a dancer, how to listen to the different layers of the music and understand its structure to help your interpretation and how to express the music as if you were the instrument playing it!
ABOUT KIRSI: Kirsi is a kizomba teacher who was first trained in Europe since 2010 and later in Angola, becoming well-known throughout the world as an ambassador for Angolan dances. Since 2017 she has also brought groups of dancers to visit Angola. She doesn’t teach at many festivals, as they don’t allow the kind of immersive teaching she is known for. Her teaching methods have always been different from the mainstream dance classes, thanks to her background in biomechanics and extensive training in Angolan dances. Instead of choreographies, she teaches “the What, the Why, and the How” – proper fundamentals – so that students can learn to dance and create their own choreographies.
Besides organizing her own events, Kirsi is a part of the "Angolan Dances” group and in that role organises events such as "Tarde de Semba" and Angolan Dances Festival in Lisbon.
Fun fact: Kirsi is so far the only white dance teacher to have taught Angolan dances to Angolans, in Angola.
Kirsi talar även svenska
