Key Points:
- Music is so universal!
- No one has all the answers in the history of dance and kizomba, and for this reason we should be humble and seek knowledge from different instructors and teachers who each have a story that represents a piece of the puzzle.
- Being open to listen and respect the roles of leading and following represents a higher level of consciousness
