Goed beschouwd is Giethoorn een waar paradijs. Wie een puntertocht maakt door haar grachten raakt in vervoering.

Kizomba music and dance being already popular in London and Portugal since 2006, the Dutch kizomba dance scene is developing rapidly from 2011.

This book tries to go beyond understanding the Dutch kizomba scene by and of itself.
