Jeff's Profile, aka DJ Jazzy J.
Jeff Tarpinian's inspirational style generates enthusiasm and commitment to the art of Salsa dancing. 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

Adrian MARTINDALE - AKA DJ ADE (right)
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!"
