Montecito’s Dance Fever Studio would like to congratulate Mariya Usanina for making the finals, out of 27 high-level couples, in Amateur Latin at the largest dancesport event of the year, the Ohio Star Ball located in Columbus, Ohio. Already this year, Mariya has won many titles as Open Amateur Latin champion at competitions including the Hollywood Dancesport Championship in Hollywood and the Harvard Invitational in Cambridge, Massachusetts. 

Mariya has been an Amateur Latin finalist in many high-level competitions in the United States. She was born in Perm, Russia, and first started dancing at the age of 4. She began ballroom dancing at age 5, became a rising star and won her first competition at 7. She went on to dominate the youth division, winning many titles in both Latin and Standard. 

At the age of 22, Mariya, along with her dance partner, decided to move to America to pursue her career in Latin and Standard dance. After coaching by some of the best professional instructors in the United States, Mariya has excelled in Amateur Latin in every competition entered.
