‘Bailando Salsa’ school was founded in September 2000 by siblings Nicos and Evi Panayiotou. The school has 2 dance studios where we teach Salsa, Bachata, Kizomba, Greek Dances, Ballet for children, Contemporary dance. We have also gym areas and offer related activities like Pilates or Aerobics. About our teachers:
Nicos graduated Physical Education in Athens (Greece). In 1998 Nicos disco
vered Salsa world spirit and after 2 years of intensive learning he brought it to his gym and together with Evi founded Bailando Salsa School. At present, he is teaching Salsa and Bachata with Eleni Christou who joined the school in 2004; Eleni is also our ‘Lady Styling’ and Kizomba teacher. She is one of the best Cyprus Latin DJs (with regularly Latin nights in Limassol)
Evi graduated Classical Ballet in Athens (Greece) and studied later on Contemporary Dance in New York (USA). Evi is teaching Salsa beginner groups, Contemporary Dance and Ballet for children. In 2010 Evi (as a choreographer) founded together with the writer Maria A. Ioannou, a non-profit organization called Arttitude , aiming to promote culture and artistic expression in Cyprus and abroad. Our vision:
“We love to dance and we want to transfer this love to our students/dancers. We want them to embrace the spirit of salsa music and to enjoy it as much as we do. We believe that our key advantage is that we make our students/dancers addicted to salsa world”, Nicos said. As a result we are proud to mention our most loved awards: Cyprus Salsera of the Year 2010 (Eleni Christou) and 2015 (Matina Konstantinou), Cyprus Salsero of the Year 2012 (Chris Chivers) and 2013 (Andreas Panayiotou).
