I DANCED PROFESSIONALLY FOR 20 YEARS

Bio

I’ve been an active participant and observer of the amateur and professional ballroom dance movements both in Poland and across the world for many years. I started out as a dancer, now I’m an instructor and a judge in ballroom dance competitions. I danced professionally for 20 years. A period when I took part in a countless number in competitions around the whole world.
1988

My first dancing partner

My first dancing partner was Michał Malitowski. We danced together for 14 years.

Our biggest achievements include:
  • four-time Champions of Poland in the Amateur category, Latin dance, in 1997, 1999, 2000, and 2001
  • victory in the BLACKPOOL DANCE FESTIVAL in the Latin Under 21 category in 1999

Despite my intensive training regime and frequent trips to competitions, I obtained the degree of MSc Eng in Marketing and Management in 2002.

Leaving for Slovenia

The next step in my dancing career was leaving for Slovenia in 2002. I spent one season dancing with Sergej Milicija in the Professional category, and in 2004 I started dancing with Matej Krajcer. Matej and I had won many prestigious competitions and made it to the finals of both European Championships and World Championships.

The titles we’ve won together include:
  • four-time Champions of Slovenia: in 2005, 2006, 2007, and 2008
  • World Vice-Champions in the Latin category in 2007
  • winners of the UK OPEN CHAMPIONSHIP in the Amateur Latin category in 2008
  • winners of the BLACKPOOL DANCE FESTIVAL in the Amateur Latin category in 2008
2010

A new beginning

My achievements in the international dance arena made it easier for me to take on a new role after I retired from dancing. I became a ballroom dance instructor and judge. In 2010 I got my judge’s license, and four years later I became a qualified international judge.

After a prolific dancing career and with qualifications of a Dancesport Instructor obtained at the Gdańsk University of Physical Education and Sport, I focused on honing my instructor skills. This led me to obtaining the title of an official DanceSport Federation Instructor in 2017.

Knowledge and experience

I share my knowledge and the many years of my dancing experience with kids, youth, and adults. The couples I’ve had the pleasure to work with have gone on to become Latin dance Champions of Poland in the following categories: kids, youth, adult, senior.

I run dance training courses and consultation sessions not only in Poland but also abroad, in different parts of the world. As an international judge, I get to judge at prestigious international competitions, including the European Championships and the World Championships.
