We are Denis Filonenko and Anna Sergeenko — U.S. National Champions, professional ballroom dancers, coaches, creators, and the founders of Feel Dance Studio in Silicon Valley

We are U.S. National Professional Ballroom Champions, European Championship finalists, and internationally recognized competitors with over 14 years of professional experience.

Denis is one of the most technically gifted ballroom dancers in the U.S. and a highly respected teacher known for precision, clarity, and an exceptional understanding of technique. Anna holds a PhD, combining a strong academic background with a lifelong dance journey.

Together, we built a space where dance and excellence meet — a studio that helps children, teens, and adults grow not only as dancers, but as people.

Our story

Denis and Anna both began in small studios, with no privileges — only passion, discipline, and a dream.

Years of training, competitions, teaching, traveling, research, and rebuilding their careers from scratch brought them to the United States.

In California, surrounded by ambition and innovation, Denis and Anna found the perfect place to create something bigger — a studio that reflects everything they believe in: quality, community, personal growth, and beautiful dancing.
