Tatiana Keegan
Book LessonTatiana Keegan and her partner Anatoliy Shvarts are the reigning World Champions in Senior III International Latin after conquering a fiercely competitive field of 110 couples from around the globe at the 2025 WDSF championships in Vienna, Austria. They are the first Americans to ever win that prestigious honor.
Born in Volgograd, Russia, Tatiana was the Russian Amateur National Champion in Ten Dances before coming to the United States and winning many of the top professional Open and Rising Star Latin championships, including the Ohio Star Ball and the U.S. Ballroom Championship with Tony Dovolani of “Dancing with the Stars.” After a seven-year break to get married and start a family, she returned to reach the World Professional Latin Championships in Germany with partner Werner Figar.
In 2019, she turned amateur to compete in her age category (45+) and partnered with Anatoliy to dominate the field, becoming U.S. National Champions five years in a row. The couple won the WDO Senior II World Championship in New Jersey in 2024 and Spain’s WDSF Senior II Open to the World Championship in 2022. They reached the WDSF Senior II World Championship finals for three straight years (Spain ‘22, The Netherlands ‘23, and Germany ‘24) before becoming World Champions in Senior III in Austria in 2025.
