Nadia was a competitor dancer for 14 years – since she was 10 years old. She recently came with her family to Halifax from Russian. Her competitive dance partner became her husband. As owners of a dance sport club in Russia, they coached dancers from beginners to competitors and had the province’s winners for more than 10 years. All their own three kids dance ballroom and that is a valuable experience for all of them. The hard work a couple has to do together to achieve a goal is a great teamwork experience for girls and boys. Nadia has experienced this as a dancer, coach, and parent. Nadia believes that everyone can dance and enjoy it, and that everybody’s dancing is unique.
