Kizomba World

What Kizomba World does

Kizomba World is a privately held French company, founded in 2015 and headquartered in Draveil, that operates a web-based event aggregation and discovery platform dedicated to Kizomba, Semba, Urban Kiz, Tarraxo, and SBK (Salsa-Bachata-Kizomba) dance events worldwide. The platform's core product is a searchable, filterable event calendar covering festivals, weekenders, workshops, parties, cruises, and dance holidays across more than 50 countries and 30+ mapped territories, with multi-language support in English, French, Spanish, and Portuguese. Complementary products include an interactive world map, themed featured-event collections, an artist directory with linked DJ and instructor profiles, a professional account registration system for organizers and performers, and a blog covering dance-community news.

The underlying technology is a WordPress-based directory platform (evidenced by /wp-content/ asset paths) with location, date, and dance-style filtering, event submission capabilities for organizers, and integrations to third-party ticketing providers including KizzBee, Eventbrite, Weezevent, Eventim, HelloAsso, and BilletWeb. There is no native mobile app, no public API, and no disclosed integrations with external software systems. Distribution is primarily organic through SEO and social channels (Facebook, Instagram, YouTube), supplemented by an email newsletter.

Revenue is generated entirely through marketplace commissions and affiliate referrals on featured event placements and ticketing deals. The platform charges no subscription to users or organizers, and no pricing tiers are publicly disclosed. Event pricing is set by third-party ticketing platforms, with festival passes observed in the €55–€160 range and all-inclusive packages around €579. Sister platforms — Bachata World, Salsa World, and KizzBee — are operated as adjacent properties and cross-promoted. The company has not raised disclosed outside funding, does not list a management team, and has no reported revenue or headcount figures.

Core offering

Kizomba World operates an online event aggregation platform that catalogs Kizomba, Bachata, Salsa, and Zouk dance festivals, workshops, and socials from over 50 countries. The platform combines a searchable calendar, location and dance-type filters, an interactive global map, an artist directory, and integrated ticketing routed through partner platforms such as KizzBee, Eventbrite, and Weezevent. The site is delivered in four languages (English, French, Spanish, Portuguese) and functions as a discovery layer for the global Kizomba community rather than a ticketing or event-production system.

Product overview

Kizomba World is an event aggregation and ticketing platform for the global Kizomba, Semba, Urban Kiz, Tarraxo, and SBK (Salsa-Bachata-Kizomba) dance community. The core offering is an event discovery and calendar (Event Discovery & Calendar) that allows users to search and filter events by location, date, dance type, and category. This is supported by the Featured Events Curation, which organizes events into thematic collections (All in One, SBK, Sea Vibes, Kizomba/Semba, Holidays Vibes, Urban Kiz/Tarraxo). The platform also provides integrated ticketing and exclusive deals (Event Ticketing & Deals), an Interactive World Map for geographic exploration, and a Professional Account Registration system for DJs, instructors, and organizers. An Artist Directory and legacy DJ & Artist Archives provide community visibility, while a Blog & Community News section covers platform updates and dance scene editorial. Multi-language support (English, French, Spanish, Portuguese) and User Account Management (with wishlists and newsletters) serve the platform's international audience. The platform does not sell its own events but aggregates and promotes third-party dance festivals, congresses, and workshops.

Direct peers

• Bachata World: Sister site of Kizomba World, operating the same event-discovery + featured-deals model for Bachata dance events. Directly comparable in product, audience, and revenue model.
• Salsa World: Sister site of Kizomba World for Salsa dance events. Structure, monetization (featured deals, affiliate ticketing), and audience profile are essentially identical to Kizomba World.
• KizzBee: In-house ticketing arm and the official ticketing partner for Kizomba World's featured deals. Handles transactions for the events listed on Kizomba World, so directly tied to the platform's monetization.

Emerging players

• Songkick: Live music event tracking and ticketing platform. Similar SEO-driven discovery model for concerts/festivals, with a comparable affiliate-revenue approach to ticketing.
• Resident Advisor: Niche event discovery platform for electronic music, with strong community, editorial, and ticketing integration. A relevant analogue for a verticalized event-aggregation play, though in electronic music rather than dance.
• Festicket: Festival and multi-day event package platform. Comparable in addressing the multi-day international event discovery + ticketing + travel package use case, though broader in scope than Kizomba World.

Broad incumbents

• Weezevent: European ticketing platform used by many of the dance events on Kizomba World. Both a partner (used for ticketing) and an indirect competitor for organizer mindshare on event listing and ticketing.
• Bandsintown: Music event discovery and recommendation platform with similar location-based event aggregation and ticketing affiliate model. Broader (music, not dance) but structurally parallel in content → ticketing funnel.
• Meetup: Community-driven event discovery platform used for dance meetups and workshops. Competes for general event-discovery attention and could absorb local dance event listings without niche specialization.
• Eventbrite: Global event-listing and ticketing incumbent. Many Kizomba World events are ticketed through Eventbrite; it competes for general event-discovery attention and is a buyer-side alternative to Kizomba World for organizers.
