Nikita Smolnikov – Instructor

Born in Vladivostok, Russia, with over a decade of experience in competitive ballroom dance, I have been dedicated to the art of dance since the age of 7. I hold the prestigious title of Master of Sports of Russia and am recognized as an international-class dancer. My achievements include being Champion of Asia, a finalist in the Russian National Championships, and a finalist in international tournaments across Germany, Austria, Italy, and beyond. I am passionate about sharing my expertise and guiding dancers of all levels to reach their full potential. My teaching philosophy combines technical precision, artistic expression, and personalized mentorship, helping each student grow not just as a dancer, but as a performer.
