ABOUT TANYA
I am a professional dancer, performer and teacher, I was born in Colombia, South America and trained at The Academia de Ballet Allegro in Cali Colombia, then in 1985 I came to England to continue to develop my career and continued with my dance training at The Northern School of Contemporary Dance. I teach people to dance that's what I do, it is my job.
Salsa and the many latin rhytms that I've grown up with and later studied and learned have informed and enriched my teaching.
I have taught and used salsa because when I came to England I wanted to introduce as many people as possible to dance and to my culture, I wanted people to love dancing and to realise how dancing makes you feel so alive.
I truly believe that the longer we dance the better our lives are, dance I believe is for every one of us, if it is passed on with knowledge and gentleness.
