What you'll learn
Each class blends warm-up, technique, musicality and partner work. We start with the foundation, then dig deeper into feeling and connection.
We feel first, then move.
The urban evolution of Kizomba. Faster, groove-driven, playful — influenced by hip-hop, R&B and electronic music. The conversation between two bodies across the floor.
The slow, deep, sensual side. Heavy bass, grounded posture, micro-movement and silence. Tarraxo is a feeling, not only a step.
See Tarraxo in action
6 hours of deep Tarraxo work — blending rhythm, silence and micro-movement.

Meet Dawou Tarraxo
From Afro-Caribbean roots to global festivals, I've spent over a decade building spaces where groove, control and connection meet. I started my dance journey in 2014, and by 2017 I was deep into the Tarraxo movement — training with the founders of the style, Kizzy and Gwany.
In 2020, I became an official Tarraxo dancer and created the first Tarraxo dancer team. Since then, I've taught weekly in Paris (2021–2023), London (2022–2023), and now Dubai — and I've performed and taught at festivals in 50+ countries across Europe, Asia, the Americas and the Middle East.
Before dance, I spent 10+ years as an IT teacher. That pedagogical background shapes how I run my classes — clear structure, safe progression, real care for every dancer in the room.
Now I'm bringing this method to Dubai every Friday. Whether you're an absolute beginner or a seasoned dancer, this floor is for you.
