ABOUT BELLA AND NICOLAE
Both Nicolae and Bella are professional dancers, and accomplished at the global competition level. Before they ever met and became dance partners and got married, they were exceptional competitors on the world stage.
Nicolae was born in Moldova, and his career has taken him all over the world—winning many championships along the way. His achievements include winning the under 21 in England, and championships in both Luxembourg and the United States.
Bella was born in Russia. She has a Master’s in Stage Choreography, and a Degree in Ballet, Contemporary, and Ballroom Dance. She’s won Championships in International Latin – New York, Los Angeles, Heritage, Florida, and won the Rising Star International Latin Professional at the legendary Hollywood DanceSport Competition. She also competed in the Finals (11th out of 500) in International Latin at the venerable Blackpool—one of the most prestigious competitions in the world.
THE TRUE CALLING
Although dancing was their first and most burning passion, Bella & Nicolae have truly found their calling—teaching. Nothing brings them more joy than watching their students improve, succeed, and achieve their lofty goals.
Both instructors bring something unique to the table, and together, they help students build their technical prowess, confidence, choreography—all while making it fun and fulfilling! Working with both instructors allows students to learn both sides of the dance, the lead and the follow—which is crucial. Each lesson is customized to the student, as each student has unique strengths, skill levels, and weaknesses.
No matter your skill level, you’ll love Bella & Nicolae’s approach to dance.

MISSION
