MKIZ Special Program — Deep Connection Experience

MKIZ is a methodology where technique, body awareness, musicality, and inner state come together as one dance language.

For Hot Ice Kiz, we created a special extended MKIZ program, fully integrated into the festival and enriched with dedicated sessions and optional intensives.

Key Focuses Connection, awareness, musicality, and real dialogue in the couple.
Connection first Connection as the foundation of every class.
Body awareness Conscious movement control and clarity in the body.
Musicality & presence Dance the music with attention and meaning.
Living dialogue Real, responsive communication in the couple.

MKIZ Music Sessions — When Music Leads the Body

MKIZ goes beyond the classroom. Special MKIZ Music Sessions will take place during the evening parties and daytime social dances.

Deeper musical experience Feel music as structure, texture, and impulse.
Connect without words Dialogue through attention, timing, and sensation.
Flow & presence Less effort, more state — the dance becomes clear.
Festival integration Bring class quality into real social dancing.

Teachers & Learning Support — Who Leads the Journey

Albir & Natalia

Main Teachers: Albir & Natalia

All main MKIZ classes are led by Albir & Natalia — creators and carriers of the MKIZ methodology. During the classes, other MKIZ teachers assist inside the group: supporting students individually, helping with details and corrections, and guiding the personal learning process.

This is not a “watch and repeat” format — it is guided, living learning.
