TNT Dance - Salsa In London - TINA STAMOU || Founder, Artistic Director

Biography

In many aspects, 2004 was the year of the Monkey. In a great bunch of other aspects, it also ended up being the year of Salsa. An unforgettable year, which left me seriously ill with the infamous Salsa bug already been gratefully spreading across Nottingham at the time. It also led to the discovery of lots and lots of latin energy pouring out of the soles of my feet. Happily unable to stop dancing, I gradually progressed from my first Cuban Salsa steps to Cross Body On1 which took me all the way to London seeking Susana Montero and Laith Sami, symbols, for me, of a richer way of moving and personal expression.

In the course of the year, Laith Sami offered the first opportunities to perform while training under his Laith Sami Performance Group leading to performances around London including Bar Salsa, Scala Bank Holiday All Nighter, and Bar Rez. And as paths have it, the thirst of performance led me to Irene Miguel who introduced me to New York Style Salsa (Crossbody On2), an even richer as well as a more defined way of moving which suited my disposition well. Irene provided many opportunities to perform at events such as the UK Salsa congresss, Salsoro in Spain, Mambocity 5* Congress, 2nd Turkey Salsa congress, and Street Salsa. In 2008 at GBSex held in Manchester, I had the honour and the priviledge to share the stage with her, at which point it became clear how much meaning Salsa held for me.

It was the return from Manchester that culminated to the founding of TNT Dance with Toan Hoang. And with passion and excitement, we are already almost a year and a half into teaching our regular salsa classes and workshops to our students. How fortunate we have been...
