Professional Dancer, Instructor
Tina’s passion for dance started in 2014, when she first discovered the world of salsa and bachata. Since then, she has immersed herself in the Latin dance scene, attending multiple dance congresses, including the Canada Salsa and Bachata Congress. Here, Tina has had the privilege of learning from some of the world’s most renowned Latin dancers, such as Karen & Ricardo and Antonio & Jasmina, honing her skills and expanding her dance repertoire.
As a natural teacher at heart, Tina found her calling in sharing her love of dance with others. She began her teaching journey at Queen’s University Spanish and Latin Student Association (QSALSA) in Kingston, where she quickly gained a reputation for making every class a fun and exciting learning experience. Her infectious energy and enthusiasm have led her to instruct over 100 students in salsa and bachata, culminating in multiple performances over the years.
Driven by her passion for dance and a desire to keep the spirit of Latin dance alive throughout the pandemic, Tina founded Kingston Latin Beats Dance Club in 2020. What started as a small project of teaching one Salsa Footwork class per week quickly grew into a thriving dance school, offering a variety of classes to students of all levels. Tina’s commitment to her students and the dance community has been unwavering, and her efforts have brought joy and positivity to dancers throughout Kingston.
Now, Tina has brought her talents to Oshawa, and she is excited to continue her journey of introducing the joy of Salsa and Bachata dancing to the Durham region. With her infectious energy, passion, and expertise, she is sure to inspire a new generation of dancers and grow the Latin dance community in the area.
