About Us

Paul Priftis has over 20 years' experience dancing and teaching dance in Greece, Italy and England. He counts ballroom dancing and Latin dancing among his specialities. Paul’s favourite dance is Argentine tango because nothing brings two people alive quite like a tango.

Paul runs our corporate events division and is also involved in organising weddings.

The most memorable event for Paul since Dance Theme Events started in 2001 was a last minute wedding booking in Ash Barton Manor, North Devon. There were 40 guests crammed into a fairly small room, many of whom didn’t know each other. Within 20 minutes, every guest was on the floor salsa dancing – old and young alike. It was quite an evening. “I love every event we do but this one stood out,” says Paul.

Edita Doncakova is a professional dancer, teacher, and choreographer with over two decades of teaching both beginners and professionals.

Her expertise is Ballroom, Latin and Rock n Roll and she is highly proficient in Salsa, Lindy Hop and Argentine Tango.

As a Fellow & Examiner of the Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing, Edita has examined children and adults for medal tests in the UK and abroad. She loves teaching dance.

Laura Cedras started her career in Finland and in 1998 received her teacher qualifications (FATD). She has won a series of competitions and trophies in Australia, Cuba, Finland and England. Laura loves nothing more than salsa dancing.

The event that stands out in her memory is a corporate boat party on the Thames for a bank. Straight-laced bankers had soon thrown off their jackets and ties and seemed almost human!

As well as putting together dance events and shows, Laura coaches performers and teaches.

Michelle Smith initially used Dance Theme Events for organising a couple of parties and recently a leaving function. She joined team at Dance Theme Events in 2011 and is responsible for planning and coordination of the larger corporate functions and team building events we organise.

The most memorable event for Michelle since joining Dance Theme Events is the Swan Lake ballet performance at the London Hilton Park Hotel. The event required a significant amount of organisation and coordination. Michelle oversaw the audition and selection of the dancers and made sure that everything ran smoothly on the day. The result was quite simply beautiful.
