Dancing with Brides

New York, New York

Boris Leokumovich began his dance career at the young age of eleven, in a small Brooklyn dance studio, where he quickly began to compete in Dancesport competitions. With his former partner, Boris performed at many venues including a gig as back-up dancer at a KTU concert.  In 2002, Boris placed in the top 24 (out of 400 entries) at the largest, most prestigious Dancesport competition in the world, the British Open in Blackpool, England. That same year, Boris placed third in the Crystal Palace Open and sixth in the Imperial Open, both held in London, England.  In 2004, Boris appeared in the Off-Broadway show, “Never Stop Dreaming,” as a principal dancer.

He has made numerous appearances on the hit show “Dancing With the Stars,” where, ironically, he met his current dance partner and fiancée.  He has performed at countless events for entrepreneur Steve Wynn, such as the opening of the new hotel in Macau, China.

Boris has danced, trained and taught with Victor Kanevsky at Kaiser Dance Academy in Brooklyn, NY, Maksim Chmerkovskiy (“Dancing With the Stars”) at Dance With Me Corp. Studios in New Jersey and Metronome Dance Studio in San Francisco, CA, and at Dance Central in Staten Island, NY. Over his years of teaching, Boris has worked with many wedding couples, helping them realize their dance dreams for their wedding day.
