Nikula Liza was born on September 25, 2003, in the charming city of Chernivtsi, Ukraine. From a young age, she discovered a passion that would shape her entire life: dance. What began as a childhood hobby soon blossomed into a dedicated pursuit of excellence and a professional career.
Early Beginnings Liza’s journey into the world of dance started at the tender age of six. While most children were playing in the park, she was perfecting her moves and performing in front of audiences at school concerts. Her talent was evident, and it didn’t take long for her to stand out. With a natural grace and an infectious enthusiasm, she won first place in numerous dance competitions, captivating audiences and judges alike with her energy and artistry.
Building Her Repertoire As Liza grew, so did her commitment to dance. In middle school, she began training in Contemporary dance at the "Bueno Dance" studio, where she honed her skills in a style that emphasizes expression and creativity. Her dedication led her to further explore the world of dance by studying Jazz Modern and Hip Hop at the "Maximum Dance Studio." This diverse training allowed her to develop a unique style that blends various elements of dance into a captivating performance.
Pursuing Professional Training After high school, Liza's passion led her to the prestigious Sidor Vorobkevych College of Arts, where she immersed herself in the study of folk and classical choreography. It was here that she truly flourished, mastering the technical aspects of dance while nurturing her artistic vision. Upon graduation, Liza earned a diploma as both an artist and a dance instructor, a testament to her hard work and dedication.
