Anna Ketopaikka
Dance captured Anna’s heart at an early age: she started dancing at the age of 5 in ballet classes at the Tampere Ballet Institute. Over the years, she continued to study dance, including jazz and show dance. Since 2010 Anna has focused intensively on Cuban dances. She trained as a salsa instructor under Cuban Ramón Silverio and has been teaching since 2014. Anna is also a cultural producer (Humak) and has a Bachelor of Arts (University of Turku).
“I founded Flama out of a burning passion for dance and movement. Dance has brought so much energy, strength, presence and dear friends to my life that I want to be able to enable the pleasure it brings to others as well. In my classes, I want to inspire people above all to find strength and joy in everyday life in dance.”
Anna teaches Cuban salsa (solo and couple salsa) and other Cuban dances such as son and rumba, bachata and reggaeton in Flama.
