Polina Zotova

Polina started dancing at the University of York, where she fell in love with the dance and later became the president of the university swing dance society. Polina quickly found her passion for planning swing events as well as attending them, she organised WhipMaWhopMaHop, charity events and London Throwdown.

As a switch dancer, Polina’s favourite part of the dance is social dancing, she believes it is a 3-minute romance with a stranger, which is a beautiful thing. She plays with the feeling of moves while dancing and but most importantly facial expressions to make her partner giggle.

When moving down to London, swing dance became Polina’s saving grace, where she found her friends, family and herself. Swing dancing has taken Polina around the country and the globe. There isn’t a major UK city, Polina hasn’t danced in. So if you haven’t danced with her yet, go grab her for a dance at the next social!
