Co-Founder & Dance Instructor
Born and raised in Saint Petersburg, Olga fell in love with dancing and rhythmic gymnastics at a very young age while spending her afternoons in a dance school where her babushka used to work. Trained as a competitive ballroom dancer, Olga participated in several national and European competitions obtaining a long record of achievements both in International Ballroom and Latin, while graduating in business.
She moved to New York trying to expand her knowledge in American Style in 2013. After a few successful years working as a teacher in one of the most prestigious dance studios in the U.S., she decided to introduce a new concept of teaching social dance by creating a more modern approach and cozy learning environment.
The result: Brooklyn Dance Lessons.
