Nigel May:
Nigel May is an extraordinary, unique talent with an immense wealth of experience. From performing on stage... teaching nationally and internationally... choreographing shows and performances in most environments you can think of, from schools to music videos... Dj-ing and animating any event, from weddings to dance holidays….
Nigel's background in dance is rich and varied. He has done Ballroom and Latin, Disco, Hip Hop, Breakdancing, Contemporary and Modern.
But in recent decades his career has been dominated by Latin dance....salsa, bachata, reggaeton and other urban-latino movements and styles....and he has taught regular weekly classes, at congresses all over the UK, at a huge variety of international festivals/events ... and on many dance holidays around the world.
Teaching wise, Nigel is a master. Concise, clear, user friendly, fun, technically precise, creatively brilliant... with an amazing ability to motivate students and infuse them with energy and enthusiasm.
Tony Ridges:
Tony has been djing for many years at socials, events and on radio... He plays a great mix of music and has his finger on the pulse when it comes to pleasing the crowd. From Salsa and Latin to disco, soul and R&B, Tony can play it all!... Annoyingly he's also an exceptionally lovely guy... and really funny too!
DeepSonics:
DeepSonics is a Reading-based producer and multi-instrumentalist who brings together a unique blend of mellow jazz and acoustic electronica. From ear-grabbing saxophone solos to the flavours of trip-hop, deep house and the haunting resonance of the Arab oud, every set is a journey through sound and space.
