Dancer and ballroom dancing teacher Sofia Iudina is sure that one should live in the moment now. If you have a dream, you must work and train; if you want to become a champion, you must return to the parquet with new strength after failures and injuries. The path of a professional athlete can be challenging. Still, only people with strong character can overcome all the difficulties and prove to themselves and others that they are worthy of the title of the best.


Champion Sofia Iudina looks for inspiration in everything that surrounds her. This includes theater productions, music, fashion shows, and exhibitions - there is always art around us from which we can draw strength and ideas. Each musical composition to which the dancer enters the floor carries emotions and energy. Each dancer's outfit emphasizes the overall style of the look. Each honed movement demonstrates the magnificent technique of the athlete. All this creates an overall picture that is interesting to watch, which you want to consider again and again.

 

A strong athletic character and patience will come in handy on the parquet and in life. Dancer Sofia Iudina is a great professional and a big person with a big heart. She is a successful teacher who teaches dance to children. Sofia has experience working with pensioners - she cooperated with Moscow Longevity and taught dance to the adult generation. Today, Sofia Iudina continues to conquer the international dance floor, performing with her partner at the most famous ballroom dance competitions and winning prizes. Only in the last few years, the dancing couple became champions at the Open to the World Dance Festival WDC Crystal Ball in St. Petersburg, bronze medalists at the WDC AL Open World Championship in the Netherlands, vice-champions at the New York Dance Festival in New York, USA.

According to dancer and champion Sofia Iudina, her family and coaching staff support her. Thanks to her belief in herself, her 24/7 efficiency, her drive to win, and her harmony with her dance partner, Sofia is one of the brightest and most professional competitors on the floor.

 

Sofia Iudina pays significant attention to working with show numbers in ballroom dancing. Show numbers are a particular type of dance performance where the dancers' conveyed emotions are evaluated along with the couple's technique, grace, plasticity, and style. Here, the main thing in the moment of dance is to convey through the dance all the feelings that the dancer puts in the movements. Important is every emotion on the face, a smile, a wave of the hand, outfit, and accessories that complement the couple's style. Such numbers give dancers freedom of action, where you can mix different dance directions - waltz, rumba, tango, or even bring some of your original elements into the dance.

 

Sofia Iudina is sure that the ingredients of the success of a dancing couple are the desire to experiment, not to forget about their emotions while dancing, and, of course, the dancer's uniqueness. Sofia advises getting absolute pleasure from dancing because the whole process of creativity should give the dancer only satisfaction and joy.
