Nikita Kharitonov wasn’t always the renowned coach he is today. Born on January 18th, 1999, Nikita’s passion for dance began at a young age. From 2005 to 2017, he honed his skills as an amateur dancer, every step propelling him closer to his dream.
Nikita’s dedication didn’t go unnoticed. In 2015, at the age of 16, he landed an opportunity at the prestigious Dynamo-NN dance studio. Here, he donned a new mantle – Ballroom instructor and main coach assistant. For three years, he worked tirelessly, not just perfecting his own moves, but also nurturing the talent in others.
But Nikita’s ambition yearned for more. In 2019, he embarked on a journey as an external coach, his expertise sought after not just in his native Russia but also in the Czech Republic. This international exposure broadened his horizons and strengthened his resolve.
His resume speaks volumes of his achievements: Champion and vice-champion titles in the Nizhny Novgorod region, a coveted spot in the TOP 5 of the Russian Open Championship, and consistent placements in the TOP 10. But Nikita’s success wasn’t just measured in trophies.
Titles:
- Champion and vice-champion of Nizhny Novgorod region
- TOP 5 of Russian Open Championship
- TOP 10 of Russian Open Championship
- International championship finalist
- International championship TOP 11
His passion extended beyond personal glory. He excelled at choreography preparation, ensuring his students expressed themselves through captivating routines. His technical knowledge of Ballroom and Latino-American dances was unparalleled, ensuring his students mastered every step with precision.
But Nikita’s influence transcended the dance floor. He meticulously trained his students’ physical conditioning, building a strong foundation for their artistry. We are pleased to welcome him to Fred Astaire Syracuse.
