Stanislav “Stan” Kovalov was born in Kyiv, Ukraine and began his first Ballroom dance class at the age of 7. He went on to become a finalist and champion of many Ukrainian competitions in both Latin and Standard programs.
Stan went on to pursue higher education with courses in physiology and psychology alongside his certificate of modern ballroom dance instruction. He worked and taught throughout Europe until he joined the Fred Astaire Frederick team in 2024.
Stan has over 18 years of experience working as a dance teacher and 12 years of experience as an adjudicator with the World Dance Sport Federation. He was previously the director of the Dancesport Club Lion in Kyiv City, coaching many of his students to become Ukranian and European Champions at the European Grand Pris WDSF, European Championship WDC, etc.
Stan is now excited to see YOU in his classes! Stan especially enjoys sharing his love of ballroom dance with children.
Outside of dancing, Stan enjoys visiting the ocean and riding horses.
His main goal is to make people happier, even if just one person, even if not for a long time, even if just for one dance!
