A Matryoshka doll or a nested/nesting doll is a Russian doll or toy which features a set of dolls in decreasing sizes nested within one another. I chose this name for the group because I believe everyone is complex and has many layers to their personality and discussion can be a tool to explore the many facets that exist in others, thus creating true intimacy and camaraderie. I feel that is missing today. The Nested Doll is a group for those who really enjoy great conversation and deep and hone …

This is a MeetUp for all those excited about Kizomba in Southern California! Kizomba (a Angolan word meaning party) takes its origin from the Angolan dance Semba, which is also the origin of the Brazilian Samba. It appeared at the end of 80’s – 90’s, while the young Angolans, although very attached to their traditional dance, sought a new musical identity, and finally found their inspiration and new voice at a concert given by Kassav, a famous French Caribbean Zouk band. Kizomba was born out of …
