Description: Basil Pinnock - Licentiate UKA Director of Dance2Salsa Dance Company Basil has been involved in competitive sports and dance for most of his life and has trained, taught and performed in a number of different disciplines. In particular, he has represented the UK in the martial art of Tae Kwon Do at both national and international levels. Until 2008, Basil worked as a lawyer with one of the biggest Criminal Law firms in the country but retired from the profession to start his own Dance Company. A great deal of Basilï¿½s early years were spent in the various Jazz Dance clubs up and down the country. This was a unique underground dance scene, where the emphasis was on solo footwork and breath-taking body movement. The ï¿½Latin Jazzï¿½ music played during this period has been a strong influence on the music currently played at Dance2Salsa events and has made a major contribution to Basilï¿½s understanding of the music and his expression of it. Salsa became a major part of Basilï¿½s life in 2001 and he has dedicated himself to learning and teaching all aspects of this fantastic art form. He started Dance2Salsa in the Autumn of 2006 at Bird Hills Golf Club with Melissa Lambourne who in that time has established herself as the ï¿½First Ladyï¿½ of Dance2Salsa. Basil now teaches a number of different dance styles and forms including Cross Body Lead salsa On1, Mambo On2 (Palladium/Classic timing), Cha Cha Cha and Bachata Tango. With his partner Melissa, he also delivers unique 3 hour workshops in areas such as Musical interpretation and application to dance, Ladies and Menï¿½s Styling, Spins and Rotations, Footwork and Solo movement and Dancing On2. Basil has developed a unique system of teaching and delivery built around a strong syllabus, the focus of which is the development of excellent ï¿½Core Techniqueï¿½, matched by strong leading and following skills. Fundamental to the above is a thorough understanding of and awareness of the music as well as the development of musical expression. This can be seen in the high calibre dancers that have been through the program. Basil is UKA qualified to 'Licentiate' level after passing his higher level UKA exam in June 2007 with the United Kingdom Alliance.
