He was been dancing various styles of dance for more than 25 years. At the early age of 13 he excelled in the street dance style of Popping and Locking, winning many competitions and touring Europe doing performances, as well as many TV slots/shows. Coming from an Armenian/Brasilian background and brought up in London, he learned to appreciate a wide variety of good music from an early age. Dancing salsa for more than 10 years, he is currently performing with the Frank Santos/Andrea Stewart brand new Dance Group. He has already travelled the world, dancing in over 40 worldwide congresses, and is set this year for many more. His varied inspirations have lead Jeff to dancing a very unique style of salsa, blending hip hop, jazz and contemporary. As a choreographer and Salsa instructor, Jeff enjoys every aspect of dancing, from encouraging the novice to working with the advanced, always inspiring the best out of everyone.Focusing on technique, rhythm, correct mind-set  and core movement, Jeff manages to teach his classes to a high level, whilst injecting great humour and fun      I want to give special thanks to all my friends and family who have supportedme in the past, and most are still inspiring and encouraging me all the time.  In particular, Mum /Dad,  Gary Nurse, Gabriel Cameron, Chris Frith, Patsy Harper,Colleen Daniels, Helen Gibson,  Martina Mungai, Nicola Szuprowicz, Frank Santos and Natalie, Leon Rose, Marchant Birch, Glenn Seddington,  Roberta Cuppari, Siwar and Ness, Shelley Cook, Lisa Page,  all the teams at StrictlySalsa, Salsamoves and Salsaculture, Rudy B, Rowan, Marianna, Mauro, Mouni, Katriona Taylor.

At the age of 17 she turned to Street Dance and Jazz, winning a summer scholarship for Vignale Danza in 2002. With the influence of her two sisters (a ballet/contemporary teacher and a tango instructor) she was introduced to different kind of music and dances. In 2005 she moved to London where she developed a passion for Salsa. She trained in Cuban and Porto Rican styles first and then she fell in love with New York style and attended numerous workshops with the best NY dancers. Alongside her salsa training, she continued her jazz and contemporary dance studies. In 2007 she joined Irene Miguel’s group Danza Lifestyle and performed with them for a year. Roberta is currently attending a Performing Arts Course in Contemporary Dance at the Birkbeck University. She now teaches salsa in a number of venue and is a very passionate and versatile instructor.     Marlene Almeida:     Alina Moskinova :           Martina Mungai       Colleen Daniels :             ADRIAN MARTINDALE   -  AKA  -   DJ  ADE   Since his childhood, great music has been one of Adrian's passions.  Brought up on a musical diet of soul, hip-hop, reggae and jazz, he  discovered salsa 14 years ago and hasn't looked back since. He was  blown away by the complexity and the multilayered rhythmical  structure of the music and the variety within the genre. As a  dancer himself, Adrian caters to the crowd with a unique  understanding of what tracks make a dancefloor move. Songs by Tito  Puente, Oscar d'Leon, Cuban timba and New York mambo are some of  his favourite tunes, but he enjoys seeking out the funkiest music  around, especially salsa mixes with RnB, reggae, soul and rap. As  Adrian says: "If its danceable, it goes in the mix!"
