introduction

Mieke
My name is Mieke and I started ballroom dancing in 2011. More and more dances were added: salsa, bachata, Argentine tango and kizomba. Since 2021 I have fully devoted myself to urban kiz, both as a leader and as a follower.
Urban kiz is a dance in development in which you never stop learning. I participate in group training, train with dance partners, take lessons at various dance schools and follow workshops at parties and festivals.
Since 2009 I have been a group teacher in primary education. With my pedagogical and didactic background and passion for dancing, giving dance lessons was a logical next step. At the end of 2022 I started "The Kizz Effect" and organized the first bootcamp and after several editions weekly group lessons, private lessons and workshops at parties followed. In February I joined the "Womens League": an international team of women who all lead, follow and teach. I love sharing my knowledge and especially the fun I get from dancing with you!

Femke
My name is Femke and after I followed a "Kizomba in 1 day" in 2019, I was immediately sold! In recent years, my focus has shifted from traditional Kizomba to urban kiz with the same enthusiasm. At The Kizz Effect I want others to experience that same pleasure.

Jeremie

My name is Jeremie, and my "dance journey" began in 2017 with salsa lessons.
I discovered Urban Kiz at a dance party in Rotterdam.
It was love at first sight and I started taking classes right away.
In January 2024, I started classes at The Kizz Effect.
From that moment on, I began to understand the dance more and more and my love for it grew even stronger.
The music, the vibe, the connection; for me, it's more than just a dance style. It influences many aspects of my life.
As part of the team, I'd love to share this passion and experience with you.
