Tamsier Joof Aviance or Tamsier Aviance (né Tamsier Joof[9][10] — 17 May 1973,[2][11][12] former stage name: Tam Jo[2]) is a British dancer, choreographer, actor, model, entrepreneur, radio presenter, and author. He took the name "Aviance" after joining the House of Aviance — one of the legendary vogue-ball houses in the United States. As well as appearing in several musicals, and as stage backing dancer for Mary Kiani, Take That and Janet Jackson,[1][2][13] he was also known within the London voguing scene during the 1990s and is among the original London vogue dancers of that era.[14][15]
