Sponsors:
- Online Kizomba lessons at Learntokiz.com!
- The Super Bowl of Urban Kiz Festivals in North America, The Neo Kizomba Festival!
Intro Song:
- Hear From You by Branko & Sango
Key Points:
- Shame is not a conducive way to grow a healthy community.
- Our knowledge of the history and culture grows with time over years, so there should be understanding and patience used with ourselves and other members of the community.
- Upon doing your own research about the history of any dance, you will find that depending on the source the stories will vary and at times even conflict.
- One should consider what type of legacy and reputation they wish to have before deciding to publicly shame someone else.
- Share what you love, versus sharing negative energy of what you dislike.
