Zumbakuakua
by Horacio Macuacua
About:
Zumbakuakua is a dance style that is born out of the curiosity for reinventing warming up the body in a joyful way and a great vibe. It is inspired by traditional African dances, afro dance and all influences Horacio has picked up in his career. The class is hot and sweaty, the dance steps and moves are aerobic, rooting deeply, creating an invocation of your own spirit. A treat which has become an inspiring dance formula to be shared once more, and more.
