Her skin is PERFECT! She looks so young, it’s hard to believe she’s been dancing for 20 years. She looks like she’s 20!

As a fellow Ukrainian who used to be into competitive ballroom dancing at school but has since stopped, this warms my heart !

[MrsPandapanic]

So many jobs to explore and this was discontinued? Make it makes sense, many people love this series 😢

[KPolinger]

I was at this competition (Ballroom Beach Bash) in April 2023! Everything Olena said is totally true. A dancer’s finished look takes a lot of time, and includes preparing mentally and physically. Congratulations to you and your husband on a stellar performance!

[WanderingStardust]

Wow, the power of make up! She looks like two completely different people (both stunning, of course). It's interesting to learn about the exact reasons certain things are done, like why dancers wear their hair tight to their head, and how using tanning lotion helps enhance the way you can see their physique and movements. As someone who hasn't danced since elementary school and really only ever did it as an elective, these peeks into different lifestyles and careers are so entertaining.

[ElianaRosalind]

She's so lovely. I aspire to have this level of calm & coolness while being absolutely fierce.
Allure always picks the most down to earth yet force of nature people.

[crfbgyc]

20 years?? She looks about 15!! Pop off sis!

[Fatherdowling]

I don’t dance at all but recently become obsessed with standard ballroom so this is so interesting! ❤

Very informing interview and insight into a competitive dancer's life..:) I enjoyed her sharing what she ate for breakfast, but it would have been nice if she mentioned what she has for lunch and dinner also.:)

[Miyahideko]

Wait does all that hair gel come out super easily?!? This is definitely a great person to highlight because of the level of costuming in ballroom dancing performances but i kinda wish there was more included about her workouts and diets and stuff.

[Villa...]
