YOU CAN DANCE,

OUR STORY, MISSION AND INSTRUCTOR

MEET NADIYA

SOUTH OC'S FAVORITE BALLROOM DANCER

I’m Nadiya Lockitch, an internationally trained professional Ballroom and Latin dancer, choreographer, and teacher, with a special passion for teaching wedding couples.

​

Originally from Ukraine, I began dancing at a young age and trained extensively in International Ballroom and Latin styles. Over the years, my career has taken me from competitive dance floors and stage performances to teaching at Orange County High School of the Performing Arts (OCSA). While I love the excitement of performance, some of my most

rewarding work happens in the studio with couples preparing for one of the most meaningful moments of their lives.

​

I specialize in creating personalised wedding dances that feel natural, confident, and authentic to each couple. Whether you’re complete beginners or have some dance experience, my goal is to make the process relaxed, fun, and stress-free,  no awkward moves, no pressure, just movement that feels like you. Together, we build a first dance that suits your music, your personalities, and the atmosphere you want to create on the day.

​

For me, teaching wedding couples is about more than choreography. It’s about connection, trust, and helping two people feel comfortable moving together. I love watching couples grow in confidence, enjoy the journey, and step onto the dance floor feeling excited and ready to celebrate their love through dance.
