International Choreographers & Creative Artistic Directors
"Think of a performance you still remember. Chances are, you don't remember every step.
But you definitely remember how it made you FEEL !"
Nikolay & Pavlina
About
Nikolay Manolov and Pavlina Valcheva are Bulgarian Professional Latin Champions and accomplished international competitors, having reached the semi-finals in both the European Professional Latin and World Professional Latin American Showdance championships. They made history as the first Bulgarian couple to tour globally with the hit production Burn the Floor, while also winning the inaugural season of Dancing With The Stars in Turkey, being finalists of Dancing Stars Bulgaria and choreographing multiple seasons of the franchise in the Middle East. Beyond their performing and competitive careers, they are World Dance Council and World Dance Organisation licensed adjudicators who have trained under the globe's foremost dance masters and served as television judges in Bulgaria.
Together, they continue to inspire and captivate audiences globally with their shows and performances.
Driven by a relentless pursuit of artistic innovation, Nikolay and Pavlina have always viewed show dance as the ultimate vehicle for boundary-pushing storytelling - breaking free from standard competitive formats to command massive, arena-sized stages. Today, their creative focus is shifting toward monumental, high-stakes visual productions that blend quality dancing with cutting-edge commercial movement, cinematic staging, and theatrical drama.
With a deep understanding of how music, camera work, and high-impact choreography translate across millions of screens, they are actively developing show concepts built for the grandest television spectacles. Nikolay and Pavlina’s latest conceptual work aims directly at that pinnacle: crafting a signature, broadcast-ready spectacle capable of captivating an entire continent and redefining what a live performance can achieve on the global stage.
For Nikolay and Pavlina, the founding of Dancesport Club Grand arose from a clear ambition: to build a modern sanctuary for dance that bridges the gap between grassroots passion and world-class performance. Having navigated the demanding international competitive circuit, they recognized that dancers, athletes, and stage performers often lacked a truly comprehensive environment where technical rigor, artistic freedom, and holistic development could coexist under one roof. They established Grand to move beyond traditional, one-dimensional coaching methods and offer an integrated home for high-level training.
The vision was to create a space capable of catering to diverse aspirations. Beyond the studio floor, Grand was designed to provide end-to-end support, encompassing professional dance technieque help, international adjudication standards, and complete visual styling through custom costume design. By creating Dancesport Club Grand, Nikolay and Pavlina aimed not merely to open another training facility, but to foster a progressive culture where discipline meets unbounded artistic expression, empowering performers of every background to reach their absolute peak.
