CHAPTER 01
Where it all began
I was born on April 17, 1982, in Lutsk, a small city in western Ukraine. I discovered ballroom dancing as a child, and it quickly became more than a hobby — it became my life.
Through years of discipline and hard work, I became one of the country’s most successful young competitors, winning multiple Ukrainian National Championship titles in the Junior and Youth divisions of the Latin American program.
CHAPTER 02
A scholarship and a new country
At 16, I graduated from High School No. 9 in Lutsk and moved to Lublin, Poland. There, I earned a scholarship to the John Paul II Catholic University of Lublin (KUL), one of the most respected universities in the country.
Balancing my studies with an intense competitive schedule taught me how to stay focused under pressure — a skill that would shape everything that came next.
CHAPTER 03
Los Angeles and the world stage
I eventually made Los Angeles my home, where I built a career as a professional ballroom dancer and coach. Over the years I have had the privilege of teaching A-list talent including Selena Gomez, Gwyneth Paltrow and Ariana Grande.
Today my private lessons are in high demand, and students regularly book months ahead.
CHAPTER 04
Going viral — and building a community
When I began sharing short dance tutorials online, they took off. My videos have now been viewed more than 2 billion times on YouTube, Instagram, TikTok and Facebook.
That reach has grown into one of the largest ballroom communities in the world: more than 8 million fans on Facebook, 1.8 million on Instagram and 1.5 million YouTube subscribers — making me one of the most followed ballroom dancers anywhere.
CHAPTER 05
From creator to entrepreneur
I launched Dance with Oleg, the world’s first ballroom dance app, and the companion DanceWithOleg.com platform. I opened Beverly Hills Dance Studio and ViBE Creative Space, a fully remote-controlled studio for dancers and creators.
Today, my primary focus is my role as Junior Partner at Stolen Inheritance Attorney, alongside a digital marketing agency that helps attorneys grow their practices. Different industries — the same commitment to discipline, connection and results.
