Pasha’s love for dance began at just six years old, and for more than a decade he trained and competed across Europe, becoming one of the top dancers in his category. After moving to the U.S., Pasha spent five years at Fred Astaire Dance Studio of Manhasset, where his passion, dedication, and teaching earned him the title of Top Teacher of Long Island. Today, he is thrilled to be the proud co-owner of Fred Astaire Dance Studio of Syosset!
For Pasha, dancing is pure joy — but nothing excites him more than sharing that joy with new students and helping them discover their own love for dance. His journey has come full circle, and he couldn’t be happier to continue inspiring, teaching, and welcoming students into the Fred Astaire family.
