Who Is Luba Mushtuk?
Last updated 4th March 2019
Russian-born Luba Mushtuk

Luba has been apart of the Strictly family since 2016 when she joined the uber talented team as an assistant choreographer.
As well as making her Strictly debut as one of the new pro dancers in 2018, Luba has toured the globe with hit show, ‘Burn the Floor’.
In 2018 Luba took to the Strictly floor with celebrity partner Boyzone’s Shane Lynch in Strictly’s Children In Need Special – lifting the trophy, congratulations Luba.

Luba Mushtuk
How old is Luba?
28 years old (born 1990)
Where is Luba from?
Somewhere in Russia!
Is Luba single?
Erm, this is a tricky one. Let’s just say there’s plenty of speculation surrounding Luba’s love life.
What are Luba’s greatest dance achievements?
Dancer and choreographer, Luba studied dance in Italy and has achieved many accolades throughout her career. She’s an Italian Open Latin Show Dance champion and four-time winner of the Italian Dance Championship. She was a finalist in the Latin European Championship and came a respectable second in the European 10 Dance Championships. And like many of her fellow Strictly professional dancers, she’s toured the world extensively as part of the hit Broadway and West End show, ‘Burn the Floor’. And did you know she’s also fluent in three languages? You do now.
Who is Luba’s professional dance partner?
Would you Adam and Eve it? It’s only one of Strictly’s many resident charmers, Giovanni Pernice.
What’s Luba’s favourite dance?
Note to self: must ask Luba what her favourite dance is.
When did Luba join Strictly?
Believe it or not, Luba joined Strictly in 2016 as an assistant choreographer. She’s been busy behind the scenes helping to create some of those memorable routines we all love, as well as performing as a back-up dancer in the Group Dances and the Blackpool specials. This year she’ll be one of the pros dancing in the Group Dances, just like she did for the 2018 Launch Show.
Who has Luba danced with on Strictly?
Well, plenty of the pro dancers which she’ll continue to do this year. However, she’s yet to get her own celeb to put through their paces on the dance floor and compete for the coveted glitter ball trophy.
Has Luba ever won Strictly?
You have to be in it to win it, and to put it bluntly, she ain’t in it. Luba will have to wait for her own celeb partnering before she can have a shot at the Strictly title.
Has Luba ever had a wardrobe malfunction on Strictly?
Not that we know of but anything could happen this series.
Find out more about Luba’s dancing profile on her official BBC Strictly Come Dancing profile page.
