Of the videos I've seen, the only basic moves I haven't seen in Kizomba have
been backward ochos, boleos, and molinetes. Kizomba does have forward ochos,
calesitas, ganchos, barridas. It's only a matter of time before they figure
out volcadas. When the woman walks around the man, she only does all forward
or all backward steps. This dance came to my attention from tango dancers who
also do salsa, so I can see a fusion coming on in the future.
It does makes me wonder where backward ochos come from and whether other latin
lances have them. Obviously, dance can develop similar vocabulary
independently. Ochos (the repeating ones), however, are one of those things
that seem invented.
