Biggest Kizomba Event in the USA - 2012 San Francisco Kizomba Festival Presented by Rodchata

The producer of San Francisco Bachata Festival and Reno Bachata Festival brings you the very first San Francisco Kizomba Zouk Dance Festival on October 5-7 2012.



    SAN FRANCISCO, CA, August 28, 2012 /24-7PressRelease/ -- When Rodney Aquino started featuring Kizomba workshops in July 2009 at the 1st San Francisco Bachata Festival, a good amount of people were curious. This followed by 2nd Reno Bachata Festival where not only kizomba was featured and also Zouk Lambada. The Kizomba dance craze started to spread slowly but surely.

A kizomba class every Tuesday soon followed at the Glas Kat in San Francisco taught by Rodney Rodchata. There were like 10 to 12 participants.

Today, in the year 2012, the kizomba community in the Bay Area has grown and the buzz is stronger than before! Every month, there is a kizomba workshop taught by teachers from out of town. This is when Rodney Aquino decided to host the very first kizomba festival in the USA.

The 1st San Francisco Bay Area Kizomba Festival with Zouk will be making history on October. It's scheduled for the 5th, 6th and 7th of October 2012. That's a Friday, Saturday and Sunday but there's going to be a pre-party and a pre-pre-party starting sometime Wednesday. It sounds like there's going to be a lot of socializing and dancing.

Many Bachateros will know the name Luis Vargas. Rodney Rodchata Aquno told us that Luis will be in town that Wednesday (Oct 3) night doing a concert at the Cafe Cocomo. Tickets will be sold at www.Bachatalicious.com

The venue sounds most excellent. It's not at a hotel this time but instead it's at a fairly new super-nice ballroom facility called the "Just Dance Ballroom". It sounds somewhat like the Century Ballroom (which I'm familiar with) in Seattle, although perhaps a bit larger and more 'upscale'.

"Just Dance Ballroom" apparently has not one but 3 ballrooms! The Official Festival Pre-Party will be on Thursday night and there will be two ballrooms used during the festival. One for Bachata only and the other for Kizomba and Zouk.

This event will cover both Kizomba and Zouk as well as bachata. Dance Workshops will begin Friday and ends on Sunday at 6pm.

Artists: Kwenda Lima, Ivo Vieira, Oscar BA, Rodney Rodchata, Shani Mayer, DJ Guelas, DJ El Guapo and more
