🧡 Meet Your Teacher
I’m Liubov (Luba) Vasileva. I’ve been dancing West Coast Swing for over 10 years and love combining it with elements from contemporary, jazz, and hip-hop. My favorite thing about WCS is musicality – I enjoy playing with the music, whether I’m dancing solo or with a partner.
🏆 My Dance Journey
Over the years, I’ve performed a Pro-Am routine (yes, my hair grew longer since that video ☺️) and competed in Jack & Jill competitions as both a follower and a leader. These experiences helped me grow as a dancer and inspired me to support others on their dance journey.
