Team Latinissimo 2010-2011

Lev is from Kiev, Ukraine born in the sign of the Aquarius and started dancing salsa in 2009.

One night he went to the Mexican cafe and got so inspired that he decided right then and there, he needed to learn this dance!

By end of 2010, he decided to join Team Latinissimo after doing several salsa courses with Latinissimo. We took notice that Lev was very dedicated and really put a lot of thought in how the dance was structured. He was invited to join Latinissimo's "DELTA" Team (D).

Lev has had some previous dance experience, ballroom, but with salsa he had his first performance experince.

I asked Lev how his experience with Team Latinissimo has been;

"-Interesting...! Well I must say that my technique has improved significantly and I am very happy about that!"

Where do you see yourself with dancing in 5 years time?;

"-I mainly dance for fun, so hopefully in 5 years time I am still dancing... maybe a lot better though!"

Lev works as an IT Consultant and is currently in Europe working. While being a member of Latinissimo's "DELTA" Team (D), he has performed at several major dance events in New Zealand, such as NZ Salsa Congress, Jambalaya, Kiwi Classic and more.

"-I love rock climbing, and I think it really benefits you dancing and vice versa. It's all about balance and good technique. Oh, and it also keeps you fit!"
