Behind The Heels

Tami

Meet

Tamara Francisca Troncoso Lamilla (Chile, 1989) is a professional dancer, choreographer, and director of Latinxbloom, a dance company based in Vancouver that celebrates the heels style with a Latin soul. With more than 20 years of experience, she has performed on international stages, television shows, music videos, and major festivals, blending strong technique, versatility, and a unique artistic voice that unites the femininity of girly style with the power of Latin rhythms.

Trained from an early age at prestigious academies in Chile such as Academia Valero, and later in Los Angeles (Millennium Dance Complex, Movement Lifestyle, Debbie Reynolds), New York (Broadway Dance Center), and Miami, Tamara specialized in jazz, tap, ballroom, girly, and primarily heels. She has also trained with renowned international choreographers, including Dana Foglia and Yanis Marshall.

Her career highlights include:

  • Official dancer of the Viña del Mar International Song Festival (2018–2019).

  • Shows and music videos for artists such as Denise Rosenthal, Mario Bautista, De La Ghetto, SECH, JD Pantoja, Kinky the Band, Alaya, and Austin Mahone.

  • Performances on iconic stages such as Foro Sol in Mexico City, Telehit Awards, Billboard Mexico, and the Coca cola Flow Fest.

  • Collaborations with global brands like Nike and Mercedes-Benz.

  • Recently, she performed with Snoop Dogg twice: once during his Canadian tour and again at a major BC Lions football event at BC Place, Vancouver.

As an educator, Tamara has taught classes and workshops across Chile, Mexico, the United States, and Canada, sharing her vision of dance as a tool for female empowerment. In 2022 she founded Latinxbloom, with the mission of expanding Latin culture through heels. In 2025 she launched the first edition of MAMI Experience, a live show that brought together dozens of performers in a vibrant celebration of strength, sensuality, and community.

She is currently directing the second edition of MAMI Experience while continuing to grow Latinxbloom as a space for artistic development, community, and cultural representation in Canada.
