\"Sasha,<\/a><\/p>\n

Aleksandra (Sasha), our fabulous Co-Owner, is originally from St. Petersburg, Russia<\/a> and has been teaching dance for 18 years. Sasha began dancing at the age of 5 years old in a family of Ballroom Dancers, so it was natural that she would fall in love with it! She began teaching in Russia at the age of 20, specializing in children and special dance education, although she has taught students of all ages over the years. Sasha relocated to Palm Beach County in 2024 with her family, and she loves spending her free time reading about Astrology<\/a>, Hiking<\/a>, and spending time near the ocean.<\/p>\n
