Biography
Vadim Lyubushkin is an international professional dancer, winner of many tournaments in the USA and Europe. Lyubushkin is familiar to the mass public as a participant in the choreographic shows “Dancing with the Stars” in Russia and America. But the dancer’s greatest popularity and “black PR” came from his wedding and divorce from the scandalous director Valeria Gai Germanika.
Born and raised in Omsk. In his hometown, he graduated from Siberian State University of Physical Culture with a degree in sports dance. Then the talented guy moved to Moscow, where he worked as a teacher at the Russian Dance Club and the Center for Modern Choreography Parterre.
Dancer Vadim Lyubushkin
The boy's dancing biography began late for this sport. Vadim Lyubushkin became interested in ballroom dancing only at the age of 14 - at that age many of his peers already had gold medals and were preparing to move into the adult category. But, as you know, passion is stronger than time: the dancer became a champion in a fairly short time.
Among Lyubushkin's partners there were many beautiful women. He danced with Elizaveta Nosochenko, Victoria Fadina, Tatyana Dorina, Lyudmila Kazakovskaya. In 2013, British Open Championship finalist Amy Bennett became his partner.

For the sake of the Omsk dancer Lyubushkina, the scandalous director learned the most difficult steps and changed her image
The personal life of 31-year-old Valeria Gai GERMANIKA has always been the subject of heated gossip. In 2008, Lera gave birth to a daughter, Octavia, from a boy she had only met for ten days. In 2010, the odious young lady fell head over heels for the ex-soloist of “Agatha Christie” Gleb SAMOILOV and enthusiastically told how, in between sex, she selflessly treated the rocker for alcoholism and drug addiction. Germanika called her beloved “karmic husband,” and things were really moving towards a wedding. But the outrageous director suddenly realized that Samoilov was not the best candidate for the role of father for her daughter. Parting with Gleb was difficult for Lera. But now she seems to have settled down and found new love.

The reason for rumors about Germanika’s new romantic relationship was her appearance at the Omsk film festival “Movement” at the end of April: Lera walked along the red carpet arm in arm with a charismatic bearded young man. All evening the guys whispered sweetly, hugged and did not take their loving eyes off each other. The mysterious companion of the shock director (by the way, at this festival Germanika presented her film “Yes and Yes”) turned out to be 29-year-old dancer Vadim Lyubushkin. Valeria met him on the TV show “Dancing with the Stars,” in which both took part this season. True, Vadim danced there together with Lyubov Tolkalina, and Lera’s partner was Maxim Petrov. “The guys trained for days - they literally lived in the dance hall,” the project organizers told us. “And since we have the same rehearsal base for everyone, the pairs often overlapped. Germanika is a talented but complex person. With character. When she first got on the show, she couldn’t dance two steps, and it wasn’t easy to teach her anything. Lera could have flared up and sent everyone to hell. At such moments, Lyubushkin came to Petrov’s aid - Valeria immediately found a common language with him. On this basis they became close. Vadim is a calm and gentle guy, but at the same time he knows what levers to pull in order to calm the ardor of the obstinate Lera. This is probably exactly the kind of man she needs!

While parents are at the dacha
Numerous fans of Valeria immediately noted that participation in the dance television project benefited their favorite. From a freak in a strange outfit, she suddenly turned into a stylish and very pretty girl. They say that this could not have happened without the sensitive guidance of her new boyfriend, who now spends all his free time with Lera. So the lovers came to the festival in Omsk together. By the way, Lyubushkin is from there: he studied at the Siberian State University of Physical Culture, specializing in “sport dances,” but immediately after graduating from the university he moved to Moscow, where for some time he taught dancing at the capital’s center of modern choreography “Parterre”. “Yes, it was immediately clear that Vadik would not sit in the province,” shared his fellow countryman Svetlana Grekova, who studied with him at the same school. “He stood out from all the boys: always so courteous, modest, no vulgar jokes.” Although he loves to have fun.

I remember in the eighth grade everyone got so drunk in a friend’s apartment while his parents were at the dacha that the next morning the place resembled some kind of dump. They also slept with whom. Vadik then had Vika from the ninth. Cute, smart. She then left for America. She became a model there. They said that Lyubushkin rushed to her from Moscow. They almost began to live together. I heard she is really looking forward to his return now. By the way, in the USA, Vadim’s career took off. There he repeatedly became a prize-winner of international tournaments and a finalist of the American Championship in sports ballroom dancing, and participated in the TV show “Dancing with the Stars,” where our producers noticed him. It’s too early to guess how the relationship between Germanika and Lyubushkin will develop further. But the dancer’s friends are sure: you won’t get away from Lera so easily. And he’s not going anywhere yet.

Dancing
Vadim Lyubushkin also danced with Lilit Avagyan, who represents the United States at international competitions. The girl also appeared in the American version of the project “Dancing with the Stars”. Together they took first place in Professional Rising Star Latin and more than once appeared on stage with demonstration performances.
Since 2008, Vadim Lyubushkin has lived and worked in Los Angeles (USA). In 2014, he came to Russia to take part in the famous show “Dancing with the Stars”.
In 2014, Vadim was offered to participate in the 10th season of the Russian version of “Dancing with the Stars,” and, as we know, he agreed: it was thanks to this project that the whole country learned about Omsk. The dancer's partner was the popular actress Lyubov Tolkalina. Of all their performances in the show, the waltz to the music of Khachaturian from the film “Anna Karenina” was especially memorable.
The audience gave a standing ovation, and enthusiastic jury members rated the dance 49 points out of a possible 50. Director Nikita Mikhalkov also praised the couple: “This is a high class, in addition to the fact that they danced wonderfully.”
Personal life
Back in the 8th grade, Vadim Lyubushkin began dating a pretty and smart girl named Victoria. Vika’s career was going well: she was invited to the USA as a model. Even after the move, the couple maintained a relationship until an unusual actress, film director and screenwriter Valeria Gai Germanika appeared in the dancer’s life. In the spring, the couple appeared at the Movement festival, which gave rise to many rumors, and soon the lovers stopped hiding their relationship.
Vadim Lyubushkin and Valeria Gai Germanika
Vadim Lyubushkin and Valeria Gai Germanika met during the filming of the show “Dancing with the Stars,” where they starred as participants. Constant concentration on the result of the performance and exhausting training did not stop the professional dancer from showing attention to the girl. After personal acquaintance and enormous efforts, he managed to charm his passion. Soon she reciprocated his feelings.
On July 12, 2020, Lyubushkin and Germanika got married. The famous figure of Russian cinema was led to the altar by her daughter Octavia.
A few days after the wedding of the talented dancer and outrageous director, scandalous details surfaced. Vadim's dance partner and former cohabitant Victoria Fadeeva accused him of bigamy. According to her, he has a registered marriage with Anna Mazurenko in the United States. The woman also called the dancer a gigolo, a hypocrite and a swindler.
Vadim Lyubushkin
Vadim Lyubushkin did not remain silent and admitted that he did not expect such a turn of events. His relationship with his American wife ended a year ago due to numerous infidelities, but he decided not to wait for the end of the divorce proceedings, launched on June 24, and entered into a new marriage in Russia.
Valeria Gai Germanika took the news calmly. She supported her husband and helped him understand the legal intricacies of family law.

In an interview, the director admitted that she is confident that the couple will be able to survive this difficult period. Valeria did not immediately comment on the current situation, but the shocking director’s first guess was that Victoria specifically announced to the press an unpleasant fact about the dancer out of envy and jealousy. As Germanika herself said, Vadim wanted to invite his ex-girlfriend to the wedding, but Valeria asked not to do this.
Vadim Lyubushkin now
Valeria Gai Germanika's attitude towards her husband changed already in 2016. As the couple explained to the press, after a quarrel, Vadim left for America secretly from his wife. The director managed to become pregnant by her husband, which did not stop the woman from filing for divorce. Valeria told reporters that she was unhappy in her marriage and was burdened by Vadim’s company.

In addition, unpleasant facts about Lyubushkin began to emerge one after another. Vadim’s former friend, dance teacher Alena Fitol, accused the dancer of robbing her. According to Alena, a colleague stole a precious necklace worth a hundred thousand rubles. Mutual acquaintances of the choreographers were also injured. Vadim worked according to a well-established scheme: he borrowed money from friends and did not pay it back.
The dancer’s former business partner Vladimir Kotlyarov, owner of the Aida Dance company, which produces dance shoes around the world, also told the press that Lyubushkin still owes him money. The businessman called the dancer a swindler. Kotlyarov agreed to Vadim’s proposal to give him a batch of shoes for sale in order to then share the profit. But subsequently the businessman did not see either the promised money or shoes.

At the same time, the former comrades deceived by the dancer do not go to court. When asked by journalists about the reasons for this behavior, many answer that Vadim took amounts that were not worth the legal battle. Lyubushkin could ask one friend for a couple of thousand rubles, and owe businessman Kotlyarov $300, which is incomparable with the business turnover of the Aida Dance company. The matter is also complicated by the fact that Vadim lives in the USA, where it is difficult for Russian laws and prosecutors to get hold of a choreographer.
On January 27, 2020, Vadim Lyubushkin and Valeria Gai Germanika officially divorced. The dancer did not come to Russia to sign the papers; the entire procedure took place without the participation of Germanika’s ex-husband.
Already in November of the same year, the media started talking about Lyubushkin’s new novel. The choreographer began to go out with his employer, the founder and teacher of a children's dance school, Alla Kocherga. The dancers do not hide their relationship, openly go to cultural and sporting events together, and then share joint photos on Instagram and other social networks.

In July 2020, Vadim told subscribers on the microblog that he proposed to Alla after a year of dating, and she agreed. Now the dancers are preparing for the wedding. In addition, there were rumors that Vadim Lyubushkin would become a father again. The choreographer posted a photo with Alla on Instagram, which shows the dancer’s rounded belly.
Vadim Lyubushkin does not see his child from his previous marriage and his ex-wife. Whether Vadim finally divorced his first wife is unknown to the press, and the choreographer does not comment on this situation.
Present tense
Choreographer and former friend of Lyubushkin A. Fitol said that the man stole a necklace worth 100 thousand rubles from her. The owner of the international company Aida Dance, V. Kotlyarov, told reporters about the dancer’s latest scam. The businessman gave Vadim Lyubushkin a batch of shoes to sell, the profits from which were to be shared by his colleagues. Nevertheless, Kotlyarov received neither money nor goods.
The people claiming fraud claim that they are not suing the dancer because he is a US citizen. Asian law enforcement agencies do not have much power against small foreign scammers.
