Victoria has been dancing with Fred Astaire for several years and with Marko for the past year and a half. Her personal experiences-caring for a stepson with a severe mental illness and living next to a child with autism-have given her a deep, firsthand understanding of the critical importance of Abilis Services, particularly in early intervention and family education.
Over the course of her career as a television Producer and Director, Victoria has received numerous accolades, including the Action for Children's Television Award, multiple Emmy Awards, and honors from the New York Film Festival recognizing her outstanding work.
Victoria is paired with Fred Astaire Professional Marko
Marko comes from Serbia and started to dance and compete when he was only 8 years old. He won 10 National Championship titles in Ballroom, Latin and 10-Dance. He was representing Serbia in World and European Championships as a member of the Serbian National team.
Marko is a performer at heart - he was a pro dancer in the Serbian version of "Dancing with the Stars" and at the Belgrade Terazije Theatre dancing in Broadway Shows like Chicago and Mamma Mia for 4 years.
He joined the Fred Astaire family in 2018 and has been competing professionally in both Smooth and Rhythm. Now he wants to focus on teaching and turning his students into stars.
