BIO

Vladimir Kosarev, originally From Perm, Russia, began his dancing career when he was just six years old. At age seven, he became the 10-Dance Youth Champion in his home town, where ballroom dancing was very competitive with over 30 studios. By 1996, he was representing Russia in the European Championship and became a Youth European Latin Semi-Finalist. Vladimir loved ballroom so much that he began teaching ballroom dance at age 14. This would lead him to a very successful career as a professional dancer and instructor. At age 22, he decided to move to America where he joined the Fred Astaire Dance Studio of Rochester, NY, which is where he met his beautiful dance partner and wife, Vera Kosarev. They fell in love with the American Style and began their competitive career. Currently, Vladimir owns and operates a Fred Astaire Dance Studio in Coral Gables, Florida with his wife and partner, Vera Kosarev.
