Osbanis Tejeda (Cuba) & Anneta Kepka (Poland) are internationally acclaimed Cuban dance artists, teachers, choreographers and performers based in London. World and UK Champions, they have taught and performed across 6 continents and more than 40 countries.

Founders of Deakocan Dance, created in London in 2009, they are renowned for their distinctive Cuban style and deep focus on musicality and musical interpretation. Their work brings together Casino, Son, Rumba and Afro-Cuban movement, with a unique fusion of Rumba and Afro-Cuban movement within Casino.

Osbanis’ background as a Cuban musician and dancer brings a deep understanding of Cuban rhythms, musical structures and cultural traditions, while Anneta brings technical precision, expressive movement and an international perspective. Together, they have developed an approach that goes beyond steps — teaching dancers to listen, understand and embody Cuban music through movement.

Their performances and classes combine musicality, technique, energy, character and sentimiento, inspiring dancers to develop both their skills and their own freedom of expression.

Their work has also extended into film, contributing to the dance training and preparation for Cuban Fury, starring Nick Frost and Rashida Jones, and being featured in Netflix’s Back in Action, starring Cameron Diaz and Jamie Foxx.
