We specialize in all ballroom dance styles, including International Standard, International Latin, American Smooth, and American Rhythm.

Our services include group classes, private dance lessons, Pro-Am competitive dancing, custom wedding choreographies as well as shows and performances. We are based in Phoenix, Arizona, and have represented the United States in both national and international Professional Latin competitions.

Ivan was born and raised in Sumy, Ukraine, where he started dancing at the young age of 7. He moved to Kharkiv, Ukraine to continue his dance education and met his current dance partner Alisa Seleznova.

Alisa, originally from Kharkiv, Ukraine, began dancing at the age of 6 in the dance studio located at her school. She has always been committed to ballroom dancing and has pursued her dream of becoming a professional ballroom dancer and coach.

Since partnering in 2012, Ivan and Alisa have competed in Youth and Amateur competitions across Ukraine, the UK, France, and the Netherlands. They have made it to the Semi-Finals in the U21 Category at the Blackpool Dance Festival twice at the International Championship in London and were Semi-Finalists at WDC AL European Championships in Blackpool, England. In 2019, they turned Professional and began representing the United States.
