Iveta Lukosiute

  • Do you have a job?

    Yes, I have been teaching ballroom dancing at studio "Ballroom Off Fifth" since 2003.

  • Do you have any formal dance training?

    Yes, I started training in Ballroom at the age of 6, and over the last few years have taken Ballet, Jazz, Contemporary and Hip Hop.

  • At what age did you first start to dance?

    6

  • What other training/talents do you have?

    I draw, design dance costumes, teach dancers how to do competition hair and makeup, and do graphic design for advertising, business cards and photos.

  • What would people be most surprised to learn about you?

    People are always surprised when they see my drawings. People see me as a successful Ballroom dancer and are always shocked to learn that I had a normal job as a shampoo girl, or that I was a caregiver on the weekends. They are also surprised to learn that I was 30 pounds heavier.
