Timea Szalontayova is a dancer, performer, mover, and teacher from Slovakia, currently based in London. In her hometown (Kosice, Slovakia) and London, she supports the local art and dance community by organising and teaching dance workshops and facilitating multiple established and emerging dance festivals. Timea discovered a profound joy in teaching dance workshops and sharing her passion for movement with others. Committed to her mission, she will continue sharing this passion and teaching both younger dancers as well as people who dance for pure enjoyment. Furthermore, Timea is passionate about becoming a versatile performer working internationally. Live work in theaters, site-specific performances, the movement for film, and commercial works all captivate her interests. She is ready to explore and dive deeper into these areas.

Timea is a graduate of the MA Dance: Performance programme at LCDS, where she was a member of the inaugural Cohort 01. During the programme she worked with project leaders such as Theo Clinkard, Jenna Jalonen, Hannes Langolf, Paleta, Benjamin Jonsson, AE Company (Aoi Nakamura & Esteban Lecoq), Edivaldo Ernesto, Horacio Macuacua, Jozef Frucek and Alexandra Reynolds under the course leadership of Tom English, Tina Afiyan Breiova and Dr Andrew Sanger and working closely with individual mentor Emma Farnell-Watson.

I thoroughly enjoyed the diverse range of workshops and the opportunity to collaborate with various guest artists, experiencing their unique crafts firsthand. This incredible journey pushed my artistic limits in various directions, enriching my creative palette. I now feel fully equipped to work professionally across a spectrum of fields, from commercial projects to live performances.
