Afinkao was formed by JC Labio and Tellina Rezzoffi in 2005 and is recognized for its eclectic and creative choreography. The dance company’s style is a fusion of Afro-Cuban, mambo, jazz, and hip-hop, and is often lauded for its musicality and interpretation.
Afinkao is composed of a professional team, Con Afinke (Semi-Pro) and a training team. The company also hosts Latin Fever Fridays at the Beat in Berkeley, a hugely popular monthly social that is also the site of Afinkao’s famous annual footwork competition.
