Douceur

Douceur means “gentleness” and is a style within Urban Kiz that originated in France in 2018.

Key characteristics:

• Gentle, slow, flowing movement
• More isolations than steps
• Lots of room for musicality and pauses; less structured
• Fully focused on connection, not performance
• Often danced close, similar to an embrace

Douceur isn’t a separate dance style—it’s a style within Urban Kiz with elements of Tarraxo.

In Düsseldorf, Douceur isn’t very common. You can dance it at Urban Kiz socials to slower songs.
