35: Anton Belyayev: How to Become a World Professional 10 Dance World Champion, 29x Canadian Champion, Run a Dancesport Studio and His Health & Wellness Routine

I had the pleasure of sitting down with Anton in his studio, Kirova Dance, in Hallandale Beach, Florida. He’s got one of the most impressive resumes: World Professional 10 Dance Champion, and 29-time Canadian National Champion. Immigrating to Toronto from a small Ukrainian town, Anton rose through the ranks with determination, training under Oleg Yedlin at OLSI DanceSport and learning from the world’s top Latin and Standard experts. With his partner Antoaneta Popova, he dominated the amateur circuit, winning multiple World titles before transitioning to the professional WDSF field, where he continued to excel. Now he is in Florida, transforming a traditional dance studio into a competitive ballroom and latin studio while filming engaging social content and staying in the best shape of his life (listen to hear about his morning routine, 5 mile+ runs and secret protein smoothie recipe) Tune in to hear his whole life story, learn what it takes to become the best in the world, how to evaluate your team of teachers, your relationships with your partner and so much more…  Show Links: Anton’s Instagram Kirova Dance DanceSportLife & Mondans Socials: ⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠ & Podcast instagram ⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠ ⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠ ⁠⁠Youtube⁠⁠ Get better at ballroom and latin with our masterclasses, courses and camp lectures: ⁠⁠Link⁠⁠ Watch Beyond (A Dance TV Show): ⁠⁠Link⁠⁠
