He started dancing at age 9 in Bulgaria and competed successfully internationally, placing 9th and 13th, respectively, in the world in Latin and Ballroom dance.
He subsequently trained as a dance teacher at The National Sports Academy “Vasil Levski” Sofia and opened his first studio in Bulgaria in 1999. He has travelled and taught social dancing and prepared couples for competition in many countries, including Greece, Cyprus, Lebanon, Russia, Serbia, Slovakia and the USA. He was awarded a medal from the Bulgarian Olympic Committee for being the first teacher in Bulgaria to develop and introduce a programme of Ladies Formation Dance as an Olympic Sport. He is extremely excited to have beautiful new premises in North London to continue this work as well as “Teaching the Teachers” in his Masterclass Series for dance teacher exam preparation and general social and professional coaching. He is available for dance consultations to discuss individual and/or group tuition. He will organise seminars, workshops, and dance holidays/exchanges as they become possible with the other team members. Angel speaks English, Russian, Greek, and Bulgarian fluently, is a wicked chess player, and is an enthusiastic cook.
Vladi began his dance career at age 8 in Sofia, Bulgaria. As a child and young adult, he trained, competed, and won many awards in International Style Latin and Ballroom Dance in Russia, Bulgaria, and Greece.
He has been teaching since 2003, training and working internationally as a Teacher and Studio Director in the famous Gene Kelly, Fred Astaire and Arthur Murray Dance Studios in the UK, USA, Europe and Lebanon. He continues to compete at Blackpool and Killick Championship, training with ballroom legends such as Richard and Anne Gleave. Vladi is a skilled dancer and experienced teacher who works hard to inspire his students to achieve their goals. He loves dancing as much as he does.
