How to find your own style in kizomba without copying anyone

Style is about choices. Which accents you play and which you deliberately leave alone. Three signatures you own will always beat ten imitations.

Find your style without copying, step by step

1. STYLE IS NOT SOMEONE ELSE'S MOVEMENT ON YOUR BODY.
2. Style is about choices. Which accents you play, which you leave alone.
3. Three signatures you own beat ten imitations.
4. Steal the intention, not the gesture.
5. Your signature lives in a single detail. A look, a delay, a breath.
6. Technique first, sauce second. Never the other way round.
7. Style is not doing more. It is doing you.
