Brett and Ksenia Nomberg

Teaches at Studio Q'dance

Ksenia began dancing at the age of 4 in St. Petersburg, Russia. As a child, she studied both ballroom and ballet. At age 10, she was accepted to the St. Petersburg State Children’s Ballet Theatre. There, she held the prestigioius position of coryphée (solo dancer) and performed in the company throughout Europe and Asia. 

After high school, she attended University in St Petersburg, where she earned a masters degree in Economics. She returned to dancing after college and started competing in “Discofox”, a European style of dance combining Ballroom and American Hustle, earning her way into the highest division, winning many awards at top Russian events, and becoming a teacher. In 2012, 

She discovered West Coast Swing, and is now an active competitor. 

She dances in the All-Star Division and has already won several top placements at prominent American competitions. 

Brett started dancing in college with a simple class in modern Jazz. After being inspired by “Dirty Dancing”, he started taking private lessons in Hustle and then American Ballroom. By the time the “Gap” commercials hit the airways, Brett was primed to fall for Lindy Hop and Smooth Swing, which led to the study of West Coast Swing and Carolina Shag. 

As one of the founding members of the NYC Shag Team, he competed successfully with both the team and his partner.

As love and dancing would have it, Brett and Ksenia met at a West Coast event in Hungary and now are partners in dance and life. 

The couple is committed to inspiring their students to have fun, enjoy meeting new people, and improve their technique and musicality for both social dancing and competition. 

They continue to train with world class competitor, event announcer and wonderful performer Robert Royston, DJ at awsome West Coast events and Oh yeah, in all that free time, Brett practices law.
