Short History
 
 
I was born in Wroclaw, Poland.  I started dancing ballet at age 2, and continued until I got very sick at age 7, had surgery, and couldn't dance for a while.  When I came back, I thought I could try my talents in a little bit of a different direction.  Therefore, I chose ice dancing.  I did some figure skating and speed skating at the same time, and achieved some very successful trophys.  One day, my community club I belonged to had a dance show, where they had kids, my age, performing for the public.  That day changed my interest into Ballroom and Latin Dancing, and this is were it all started.  I've been dancing Ballroom and Latin ever since and had competed in many competitions in Poland and other countries in Europe.  I turned into a professional competitor and a teacher about 17 years ago.  My work helped me travel around the US where I have won many championship titles with different dance partners.
I enjoy teaching and sharing this love of a beautiful art with my students and look forward to do so in my future. I mostly focus on Styling and Technique as well as presentation. I teach  kids and adults, wedding couples, social dancers to competitive dancers all levels and all ages. I also coach some of ice dancers (exmpl. former British Amateur Champions, now professionals)  in styling and posture/frame. Available for shows and demonstrations for private and corporate parties.
