I teach women to twerk, dance and feel their body, from within.

I was 15, and I had no idea what that moment would turn into.

Twerk wasn’t a thing in Ukraine back then: there was no community, no instructors and no blueprint, just me figuring it out from scratch and falling completely in love with it. I competed in every battle I could find. In 2019 I won my first Ukrainian Twerk Championship. Then I represented Ukraine internationally. Then I started judging battles and headlining camps across Europe: Ukraine, Poland, Germany.

I built the first twerk camps in Eastern Europe. I founded a twerk team of 15 instructors. I was obsessed and I don’t regret a single second of it.

Then I moved to LA and started all over again.

Four years in, I built my life in LA from scratch. I created Shake & Ride (yeah, twerk on a bike, I invented it), I host Chills Dance Camp, the only event of its kind in Los Angeles, and now I’m bringing Chill Twerk Team home to a studio here: a team that trains together in person. It started as an international online community, with instructors from Ukraine, Brazil, Jamaica and the US.

10 years, 20+ countries, 1,000+ students. Ukraine National Twerk Champion.

But here’s what the numbers don’t say:

My classes aren’t just about the moves. I trained as a somatic therapist because I believe the body holds everything: every fear, every shame, every moment you were told to shrink. What we do in class is move through that. Women come in guarded. They leave different. Some cry. Most come back.

I teach women to move, and give them permission to be themselves. That’s the whole thing.
