Learning kizomba with Olenka has been great so far. Her passion for Kizomba and Angolan culture shines in her lessons and its great to see her enthusiasm to grow the community in Maine! Despite it being my first lesson, she made me feel super comfortable from the beginning and left me wanting to learn more. Can’t wait to be back!

Professor Olenka is a gem! Her professionalism and warm demeanor make her an absolute pleasure to work with. I highly recommend her services – you won’t be disappointed!

I started taking Kizomba classes and Olenka was incredibly attentive. She gives the one-on-one feel in a group setting making sure everyone understands before moving onto the next level. Specializing in proper form and understanding movement. I would recommend her to anyone looking into learning traditional Angolan Kizomba and much more!

Olenka’s classes are truly a transformative experience. From the very first moment, you can feel a high level of professionalism, not only in the technical execution but in how each class is thoughtfully structured to support real student growth. Her pedagogical approach is exceptional: clear, patient, and deeply aware of the different learning paces of each student. Olenka doesn’t simply teach steps—she teaches connection, musicality, and the true essence of Kizomba and Semba, honoring their cultural and emotional roots. What truly sets her classes apart is the genuine care for every student. There is constant attention to individual progress, offering respectful corrections, encouragement, and creating a safe, supportive environment where everyone feels seen and supported, regardless of their level. More than just dance classes, this is a powerful learning experience—professional, human, and deeply inspiring. A true standard of excellence in Kizomba and Semba education.

Kizomba class with Olenka was so much fun! Her teaching style is very accessible and clear. In my first class, she really tuned into the importance of connection. She made sure each student had a chance to practice with her and see what connection felt like. Her passion and love for Kizomba and Angolan culture was so present. Definitely give her classes a go!

OLE Beats In Motion offers classes that are perfect for beginners. I’m not a great dancer, but she takes her time teaching you step by step, which builds your confidence. Ole makes the classes fun and, as I mentioned, she dedicates time to working individually with each student, which is great because we all have different difficulties when learning to dance Kizomba (rhythm, steps, etc.) I 100% recommend her classes.

I was new to Kizomba and a little nervous, but Olenka’s instruction was so clear, detailed, and fun that I learned 3 moves in my first lesson. Couldn’t have asked for a better start!
