OUR STORY

Tatjana & Juri 

 

Tatjana started to dance solo dances like hip-hop and contemporary in 2003. Seven years later together with Juri she joined Salsa and Bachata classes.

In 2012 they both dived into Kizomba and very soon organized a small group of friends to share those passion and practice together till it transformed into teaching.

Our teachers Tatjana and Juri both like to lead and follow. Switching roles while dancing is real fun.

From 2015 they focus on learning more about different styles, music and history by actively attending festivals, workshops, taking private lessons and teacher's trainings.

In 2017 they joined Azembora team and started to teach weekly classes in different styles in Helsinki. Now they are opening a new door on a dancing and teaching path and continue under own new brand S-Dance School.

Tiina

 

Tiina began her dancing journey in 2016 and has been deeply in love with it ever since. After a year of exploring various styles, she discovered dances under the kizomba umbrella and never looked back. During her time living in Poland from 2017 to 2022, she learned semba from Vamula and other esteemed international teachers while traveling monthly to festivals and boot camps across Europe and beyond.

Today, she continues to travel regularly to further her understanding of the roots, history, culture, and, of course, the ever-evolving trends in Angolan dances.

Tiina is recognized as a passionate dancer who allows her love for dancing to shine, regardless of who's watching. For her, kizomba and semba are social dances meant for everyone, offering a beautiful means of self-expression and the opportunity to share and create joyful, unforgettable moments with fellow dancers.
