There is a variant of Mazurka in Cape-Verde. Are there some places or events where someone can see it and maybe give it a try? I'm looking specially for Mazurca but any advice for dancing other traditional styles (rabolo, funana, coladeira) is also welcome.

Finally I went to Cabo Verde and I can answer my own question!
I've danced mazurcas in São Vicente, Mindelo (in the Restaurant Casa da Morna by Buxa) and also in Santo Antão near Ribeira Grande (also in a restaurant but I don't remember the name). Both times, the event had live music with a rabeca player and a band, playing mostly coladeiras but also a few mazurcas and mornas.
I couldn't find any place with regular activities.
Kizomba is nowadays the most popular dance over there. It's danced in regular classes, in the street and in clubs like Caravela.
