Aiste Adomauskaite Pop Dance · Commercial

Dance has been my greatest passion and my way of life since 2007. I teach Pop Dance (Commercial) style, and as a sports specialist I make sure that every training is not only creative but also physically effective. I lead classes for every level — from beginners to advanced — and I prepare dancers for international competitions. My goal is to create a supportive environment where everyone can grow stronger physically, discover the joy of dance and express themselves with confidence.

Austeja Zilinskaite Ballroom & Latin

Dance has been part of my life for more than 16 years. I am currently in my fourth year at the Dance Department of the Lithuanian Academy of Music and Theatre. Before starting my studies I danced the Latin American programme professionally — training abroad and competing in international Ballroom & Latin tournaments and seminars. To deepen my understanding of dance, in my final years of study I chose contemporary dance as my specialisation, but Ballroom & Latin remains my main and most important direction.

Gita Janusauskaite Ballroom & Latin

I'm a 12th-grade student and a former professional dancer. I've competed in many international, world-class tournaments: 2021 winner of the Lithuanian 10-dance championships, vice-champion, finalist of the Lithuanian championships. Music has an important place in my life — it helps me relax, lift up and set myself free. Without music there would be no dance, which for me is always a little escape — after it, everything becomes simpler.
