tetiana salsa bachataTetiana Khotuntseva

I’m Tetiana! While our amazing teachers have been dancing since forever, I only started a few years ago after moving from Ukraine. I am working for Incognito as an Executive Administrator, managing bookings and corporate relations, but of course you will catch me dancing, smiling, and enjoying  all the good vibes. Now I get the best of both worlds: helping people feel welcome, running the technical side of Incognito and sneaking in as many dances as I can. For me, it’s the perfect balance between work and passion, and proof that it’s never too late to start dancing!
