Meet Our New Owners!
Yuliya Sinevych - Studio Owner
Yuliya’s journey began in Rivne, Ukraine, where she stepped into ballroom dance at the young age of seven. Her early training included not only ballroom, but also classical dance, jazz, and yoga, giving her a wide foundation in movement. By the age of eight, she was already competing — and by 17, she was teaching.
Her dance career has taken her across the globe, with performance and teaching experience in Turkey, Ecuador, and the United States. Over the years, Yuliya has become known for her warm yet disciplined teaching style, helping beginners fall in love with dance and guiding advanced students to achieve their competitive goals.
Yuliya’s accomplishments have been recognized at the national level:
2023 — NDCA Top Female Smooth & Rhythm Instructor
2024 — NDCA Top Smooth Instructor
These honors, awarded by the National Dance Council of America, highlight not only her skill but also her dedication to her students’ success.
Above all, Yuliya believes in making dance fun, inspiring, and confidence-building for everyone who walks through the studio doors.
Ihor (Igor) Pylyay - Studio Director and Training Instructor
Igor also hails from Ukraine and has dedicated his life to the art and craft of ballroom dance. He completed a formal higher education in ballroom dance choreography and pedagogy, giving him not only performance expertise but also a strong academic and teaching background.
As a professional dancer, Igor has performed in prestigious competitions and shows, and as a coach, he has guided students to extraordinary success. One of his proudest achievements came in 2021, when a student he trained won the 9-Dance title at the United States Dance Championships (USDC) — one of the most respected competitions in the country.
Igor is admired for his choreographic creativity, attention to detail, and ability to draw out the best in each dancer, whether they’re aiming for social confidence or national competition results. His coaching blends technical precision with artistry, ensuring students not only dance well but also feel the music and perform with expression.
