Ekaterina Michtchenko

Broadway Ballroom professional coach

Ekaterina began dancing at the age of eight, and achieved the level of top six in 10-Dance in Russia before she moved to Canada. Partnered with her husband Roland, the couple was three times the Canadian Representative to the World Professional Latin and Showdance Championships. She and Roland were Finalists of the World Professional Showdance Championships in Miami in 2001, and won the Canadian Professional Latin Championship in 2006, prior to retiring so that they could devote all their attention to coaching dancers.

Ekaterina and Roland are directors and coaches of the largest youth dancesport group on the west coast of Canada, which has already produced Canadian Junior Latin Champions and the third-highest ranked couple in the Canadian Closed Youth Latin Championships.

The couple also hold adjudicator licenses (A+,B+) with the Canadian Dancesport Federation (CDF) and have judged competitions in and outside Canada.

Guided by a philosophy to develop the whole person as an athlete, the couple's program includes development that goes beyond dancing alone. This includes physical and flexibility training as well as sports psychology, performance development and technical skill training.

After becoming professional, they continued to compete, becoming finalists in the World Professional Showdance Championships in 2001. They won the Open Latin Taiwanese Championships, made the semi-final in the German Open, made the semi-final in the US Open Latin Professional Championships and ultimately the Canadian Professional Latin Championship.
