Dance History

i was inspired by Michael Jackson's music video in 1990. I started to watch it over and over. I was so obsessed so my parents found a dance school with similar dance style i was looking for.

I spend 6 years studying dance basics and technics. Cause of information luck all my education was not quite right, but it gave me the basic principals of how body can move.

From 1998 till 2007 i was a dancer in dance school "RESONANCE" after a while i became a choreographer for some shows we did. It still was not enough for me so i started to learn Break Dance. in 1999 i createв acrobatic  dance crew "EAST POWER". Despite that it felt like something was missing, some knowledges was needed to put puzzle together.

  In 2004 i met Alexandr Rogozins (Alex Russo) he explained to me what is Freestyle , Improvisation, taught me basic steps of various dance styles and suddenly it exposed to me the whole new world of creativity.    

  2004-2007 was hardest years in my dance career. I spent 6-9 hours almost every day, mastering moves and steps, improvisation basics, creating variations for every move i had. Popping, Locking, House, Hip-Hop became my main direction to develop my self as a professional dancer. I had a strong belief that the more time i will spend in dance class the less will be the gap of skills between me and the world leading dancers. They had all they were needed when they made a decision to grow as a dancers, while our country had nothing. 

  in 2007 i moved to Moscow and started to work at Russian leading Alla Dukhova's dance school and ballet "TODES" Season 2007-2009.

  The year 2008th became a game change. Me and my teacher/partner Alex Russo won the Juste-Debout  Nordic (Finland) that allowed us to be first Russians at Juste-Debout finals which being held in Paris. Right after that i won Hip-Hop International Russia, then i went to Las Vegas where i took 3rd place. When i came back to Moscow i started to teach locking dance classes.

   From 2015 till now im living and dancing in Shanghai. I do choreography  for various world famous brands and developing my self as a music producer
