DIANA

Hey! My name is Diana and I’m a professional dancer and dance teacher. Dance is my true element – it’s where I come alive. My dance journey started from my childhood and went all the way through to university studies in dance pedagogy, where I built a strong foundation in a variety of styles and gained deep knowledge in teaching. 

However, my soul has always gravitated toward the raw energy and freedom of street dance, and that’s where I’ve been growing, pushing boundaries, and constantly learning from incredible international dancers and choreographers. I believe growth has no limits – and I stay open to every opportunity to evolve, wherever it may come from.

I’m proud to be one of the first participants of the K-pop dance scene in Lithuania. I’ve seen its first steps, and it’s amazing to witness how far we’ve come – how passionately people train and perform, pouring their hearts into every move. Though I’ve stepped back from performing in this genre for a while, it’ll always hold a special place in my heart and story.

For me, it’s not just about hitting moves clean. I’m looking for vibe, presence, energy, raw emotion – the kind that makes the crowd feel something . Without that? It’s just steps. With it? It’s a whole moment.

Can’t wait to see what you bring to the stage. Wishing you the best of luck – and most importantly, enjoy every second out there.  

SHINTA

Hi, I’m Shinta – one of the first judges of the King Sejong Institute K-pop Festival here in Lithuania. I’ve had the chance to judge the event three times now, and it’s been amazing to watch the K-pop scene grow from the ground up. Over the years, I’ve worked across the world as a dancer and choreographer. In 2023, I danced in Lil Dicky’s music video “Ha Ha Ha” in the U.S., and in 2024, I was part of a KFC UK commercial created with choreographers from Paris. I’ve also been a part of the Canadian project “Dance Revolution” here in Lithuania, and I’ve taken home 1st place titles at IDO championships in Lithuania, Poland, and Macedonia – plus 4th place at the World IDO Hip Hop & Bboy Championships in Italy. I’ve judged other competitions too, like IDance and the Lithuanian Cup. Along the way, I’ve trained with incredible choreographers from countries like the U.S., Japan, France, Germany, South Korea, the Netherlands, Czech Republic, Slovakia, New Zealand, Latvia, Canada, and Italy. For me, dance is all about connection, musicality, and telling a story – and I’m excited to see how you bring that to the stage.

EMILIJA

I started my dance journey with K-pop choreography and cover performances. This style introduced me to the stage, helped me develop precision, performance presence, and teamwork through group covers. Over time, I began exploring other dance styles and currently focus mostly on contemporary dance, which allows me to express emotions and tell stories through movement. I’ve also gained experience in the high heels style, which has strengthened my confidence and body control. Throughout my dance path, I’ve participated in various competitions and creative projects.
