Petya & Anya Mott

At the age of 2, Petya started Ballroom dancing in Kazan, Russia.  From the first lesson he loved it and would stand watching the older children before and after his class.   When Petya was 4, he and his familly moved to Bournemouth where he joined the Nice and Easy family and has been training with Warren & Kristi, and their team of teachers, ever since. When he's not dancing, Petya is playing football or running in the forest.  He is bilingual in English and Russian and is also learning Spanish!  Before he started dancing, Petya learnt figure skating.

Anya’s first experience of dancing was watching Petya practice when she was only 6 months old. She would crawl around Nice and Easy during Petya’s lessons and by the time she was 3 she was ready to dance as well.   Anya not only learned to dance at Nice and Easy but she took her first steps as a baby on the dance floor!   With some great support from her teachers, Anya quickly grew to love dancing. During lockdown in 2020, she and Petya started dancing as a partnership taking daily online lessons and learning to dance together.   When she is not dancing, Anya loves skipping and cooking with her Mama.   She also loves playing with her toys!

"Petya is really excited to be a part of the DSI Elite Performer’s team and is looking forward to representing the company at competitions both here in the UK and overseas." "Anya is really proud to be on of our youngest DSI Elite Performer's and can’t wait to show her dancing to the world!"

Anya and Petya started dancing together during the 2020 lockdown. They have competed online and in live competitions and  both have had some amazing success, together and separately.  During August 2020, both Petya and Anya ran 100Km for “I can dance UK”.  They raised over £620 for the Charity which helps disadvantaged children learn to dance. Petya’s favourite dance is the Viennese Waltz and Anya's is the Jive as she loves the energy and rhythm needed to dance it.
