Dance Performance + Q&A

Tais started her dance career in Ukraine as well. Her first encounter with performance sports was upon being accepted to an Olympic rhythmic gymnastics school. At 6, she made the switch to Ballroom dance and has been in the dance business ever since. The turning point in her career was upon moving to the USA in 2014 - she started working with  Dima and Olga Sukachov, who are well known master coaches in the ballroom circles. Currently Tais also works with kids on the way to a professional dance career, although she gives back to her community with involvement at Arete Dance Center. Although she is a strictly ballroom instructor, she stays curious about other forms of movement.
