Our aim is to create a modern and cutting-edge dance scene in Scotland, with a collective focal point on delving into novel concepts and producing thought-provoking work through our performances.

Stefani is a performer with over 22 years of experience in the world of dance. Her journey began at the age of 7 when she embarked on her ballet training, eventually graduating from the National School of Arts ‘Dobri Hristov’ at the age of 18.

Subsequently, she delved into the world of flamenco as part of a passionate troupe before dedicating 3 years to higher education in Dance and Choreography at Falmouth University. After earning her degree, Stefani’s focus shifted towards teaching and embracing diverse dance styles, including street dance genres like commercial and hip-hop.

Over the last 5 years, Stefani has honed her craft as a choreographer, continually pushing boundaries and expanding her creative horizons. The challenges posed by the pandemic inspired her to foster connections with like-minded individuals who share her passion for innovative dance exploration which led to the creation of WAMNAM.

Zoë is a Dance Artist based in Edinburgh. After graduating with a First Class Degree in Dance and Drama from Kingston University in 2022/23, she has been freelancing as a singer, dancer and digital artist. She is also a chair acro dance teacher and has taught at several dance studios including the Empire Pole Studio, Edinburgh Pole Society, and Artemis Pole London. Along with her friend and business partner, Ellie Duncan, Zoë has also started a photography and videography venture, and they are the photographers behind the wonderful headshots you see this week.

Over the past 5 years of her qualification, Zoë has trained in Ballet, Contemporary, Jazz, Heels, Pole, Commercial and Chair. Zoë aims to be a versatile dancer and finds enjoyment in embracing a variety of styles in her choreography and teaching. Although Zoë is making her way in the professional creative arts industry, she remains a passionate student that is always striving to learn and grow. She is not done learning yet, and you will see her actively training at Dance Masterclasses and Intensives across Edinburgh, Glasgow and London.

Zoë started her dance journey when she was 22 when she made the somewhat unexpected decision to leave her degree in Cognitive Science. This was a significant change for Zoë (and a daunting one), but she believed that if she was going to fight to make something of herself, it should be in something she loved. Zoë is grateful that she was fortunate enough to have the support to make this choice and recognises that there are still many barriers in the dance industry. Therefore, finding artistic expression, safety and joy in dancing is something she prioritises in her journey and in the classes she teaches. She is thankful that WAMNAM is a part of journey, allowing her to dance authentically.
