The explosive energy and Artur and Patrycja’ spirit make this Jive one of our favorite performances at this event. Ballroom dancing is like life: sometimes we fall, sometimes we make mistakes, sometimes the music stops… This is exactly what happened at this performance. Artur and Patrycja showed us an easy, playful spirit, which made us love them even more.

Thank You to the BDSC Coaching Staff for Making BDSC’s Success at the 2013 USA Dance National DanceSport Championships Possible
As hard as our students practice and as much time and effort that they devote to the sport of dance, their success at the 2013 USA Dance Nationals DanceSport Champions and in general would not be possible without the even harder work and dedication that our coaching staff commits to their students, our members and the studio. The level to which our coaches exert themselves is quite remarkable considering that they are up on their feet and active from morning until night. This dedication from our coaches and the atmosphere that they create in the studio is exactly why BDSC has had so much recent success! Thank you to the coaching staff of BDSC, Eugene Katsevman, Maria Manusova, Marat Gimaev, Alina Basyuk, Pasha Stepanchuk, Anastasiya Danilova, Artur Tarnavskyy, Patrycja Golak, Dmitry Nikishkin, Olena Shvets, Andrei Kazlouski, and Asta Sigvaldadottir, for going that extra mile for our members and for the studio.

The Ohio Star Ball began as a one day showcase 35 years ago, under the direction of Sam Sodano.

Held in November in Columbus, Ohio at the Hyatt Regency and televised on PBS, the Ohio Star Ball hosts several national championship events.

“Here at the Embassy their performance was of the quality of the one I witnessed at La Classique.”
Andrei Kazlouski & Asta Sigvaldadotir
Denys Drozdyuk & Antonina Skobina
“Marat Gimaev & Alina Basyuk(NY) 1,1,1,1,1. I admire their effort in putting a lot of basic steps in their routines. I wish more couples would approach dancing the same way. …in my opinion they were the clear winners.”
“5th place – Andre Kazlouski & Asta Sigvaladottir. This couple has risen very quickly in the ranks with an amazing result at Blackpool. I have always loved Andrei’s dancing…very spontaneous and musical and in (Asta) he has found a great foil to his style. This is a couple that has a very good future ahead of them.”

Artur Tarnavskyy and Patrycja Golak
“…Well groomed, balanced in height and weight…this is a team that will grow with experience, they have so much talent within themselves. Whatever track you are on, stick with it, you show so much promise. Well done!”
Denys Drozdyuk and Antonina Skobina
“…Andre & Asta for me right now have terrific energy they also are dancing as if every time is their last and that is a terrific quality. Some couples can sometimes look as if they are just going through the motions but not them, at least for now. I was not surprised to see Andrei & Asta being placed so highly…”
