Tatsiana Lahvinovich Galchun

Tatsiana Lahvinovich Galchun was born in Minsk, Belarus, and began dancing at six. She later moved to Slovenia at twenty. Her defining competitive identity emerged through a partnership with Slovenian dancer Zoran Plohl, which began on 5 May 2000 and lasted more than thirteen years. The couple became prominent on the international Latin circuit during the late amateur phase of their partnership, with victories documented at major events including Blackpool, the UK Open, the International Championships, the German Open, WDSF GrandSlam competitions and national championships. Several of their best-known amateur victories took place in 2010.

In 2011, Plohl and Lahvinovich Galchun won both the World Amateur Latin championship and the European Amateur Latin championship, with the World DanceSport Federation preserving footage from the Marseille final of that European competition. These achievements marked the transition to their professional-division period. As professional competitors, they won the World Professional Latin championship in 2012 and the European Professional Latin championships in both 2012 and 2013. The partnership closed with a farewell performance at the German Open in Stuttgart on 13 August 2013.

Following her competitive career, Lahvinovich Galchun became a teacher and adjudicator. The World DanceSport Federation issued her adjudicator licence on 27 September 2014, and she has continued in that role. Her records reflect a nationality change from Belarus to Slovenia on 2 May 2022, documented by WDSF.
