Saída 2

ComptageKizomba 4/4 social count, taught here as two measures: 1-2-3-4 for the first weighted exit action, then 5-6-7-8 for continuation and collection. Each partner changes weight once per counted step; there is no salsa-style break structure.

Temps musicalBest at moderate kizomba social tempos where grounded walking and close-frame weight transfer remain clear. Faster tracks require smaller steps and simpler continuation; very slow tracks allow more suspended collection but should not turn the exit into a pause-heavy pose.

• Kizomba basic in close frame
• Clear weight transfer without bouncing
• Comfortable torso-led direction changes
• Small grounded walking steps

• ✕Leading the pattern with the arms instead of initiating through the torso and shared frame.
• ✕Letting the couple separate so the exit becomes an open-position walk rather than a compact kizomba pattern.
• ✕Taking steps that are too large for the music, causing the follower to chase the lead.
• ✕Rushing the second measure instead of completing the continuation and collection on 5-6-7-8.
• ✕Allowing the hips to swing independently of weight transfer, which blurs the timing.

• ≠Semba saída: related vocabulary, but sema movement quality and bounce are not the same as the smoother kizomba execution.
• ≠Urban kiz variations called saída: may use sharper syncopation or larger visual styling than the foundational kizomba pattern.
• ≠Generic 'exit' in salsa or bachata: an English functional label, not the same partner mechanics or timing.
