Oleg Astakhov Joins The Ranks of The Top Ballroom Dancers in the World

Ballroom dancing is a popular pastime for many people around the world. While it may not be as widely recognized as other physical activities, it still requires skill, dedication, and practice. 

There are many different styles of ballroom dancing, each with its own set of moves and techniques. The top ballroom dancers in the world are those who have mastered all the different styles and can perform them with ease and grace, and Oleg Astakhov is one who has proven himself in the craft. Having won multiple dance competitions in Ukraine throughout his childhood, Astakhov is now considered one of the top ballroom dancers in the world. 

A Star is Born

Born in 1982, Astakhov took an interest in ballroom dancing from a very young age. He competed and won in several Ukrainian National Dance Competitions from 1994 to 1998. 

Astakhov eventually moved to Poland in 2000 to continue his schooling, earning a Master’s Degree in Management and Marketing and a Master’s Degree in Psychology. Astakhov was also the only non-Polish contestant to feature on Bar 4 (Polish Big Brother), where he was well-loved by the show’s supporters. After spending a few more years honing and mastering his craft during his time in Poland, he relocated to Los Angeles to pursue dancing as a full-time profession. 

Making it big on the streets of L.A.

Early in his time in Los Angeles, his talent and dedication led him to win several major American Dance competitions. Astakhov’s dancing style has been described as clean and graceful, renowned for his ability to connect with his partners and establish a strong connection with his audience.

Astakhov’s performances were turning heads and winning hearts. He demonstrated to his audience that ballroom dancing, contrary to popular belief, can be fresh, fun, and cool. Noticing that his audience was growing, Astakhov took the next logical step and began teaching dance.

A Passion for Teaching

In 2007, Astakhov opened his first dance studio. He soon took to teaching and made it his mission to introduce dancing to the general public.

Dancing is an incredible hobby and the most amazing activity you can partake in. Dancing stimulates your mind and your creativity, and keeps you healthy. I want to make people happy through dance,” Astakhov shares.

Astakhov took advantage of social media to widen the reach of his dance lessons.
