Dimitrijus Sazinas
Dimitrijus Sazinas, born and raised in Lithuania, was exposed to dance in his very early years by his mother, a former ballerina and folk dancer. In his youth, he began to take Ballroom and Latin classes, and his interest in the sport peaked to competitive levels. Once in America, he continued to pursue his passion for dance, and currently competes at the top Professional level, Nationally and Internationally, in the Open International Standard Division. He has won several competitions and is a finalist in some the largest competitions throughout the nation. He is currently second in the nation and 8th in the world in the Classical Showdance Division. Dimitrijus is also the owner of Piper Glen Ballroom one of the leading Ballrooms in the South East.
Along with his passion to dance comes his passion to teach. He says "Teaching gives me the opportunity to share one of the greatest things in my life," and he hopes, as the owner of Piper Glen Ballroom, he is able to share with others the joy that dancing can bring.
