Let’s Live | Renata & Valentin Lusin

Let’s Live – How Dancing Makes Us Stronger in Life is much more than the story of a successful dancing couple. Renata and Valentin Lusin offer a personal look at a life shaped by dance, competition, artistic expression, partnership, ambition, and passion.

The book follows their journey from their beginnings and development as a dance partnership through the demanding world where sport and art merge. They describe the importance of movement, rhythm, emotion, expression, physical condition, and coordination—and how dance became not simply their profession, but a defining part of their lives.

Success, however, is only one part of their story. Renata and Valentin also speak openly about setbacks, pain, anger, grief, motivation, and perseverance. Their experiences show how they learned to support one another, continue fighting for their goals, and keep their passion alive during difficult moments.

The journey extends beyond competitive dancing. Readers follow them through life in the spotlight, physical challenges, discovering the world through dance, and the transition from the dance floor to the show stage.

Accompanied by numerous personal photographs, the book combines biography with reflections on dancing and life. It offers an intimate portrait of two professional dancers who have learned to approach life in much the same way they approach dancing: together, with discipline, emotion, resilience, and a shared passion for movement.

Dance, Sport & Art

One of the central ideas of Let’s Live is that dancing cannot be reduced to either sport or art alone.

Dance movements can be slow and gentle or fast and powerful, precisely structured or spontaneous. Music and rhythm are closely connected to movement, while emotion, facial expression and gesture allow dancers to communicate feelings and stories.

At the same time, regular dancing requires physical condition, coordination and technical discipline. Renata and Valentin’s own careers illustrate this combination of athletic performance and artistic expression.

Magic Moments, Passion & Setbacks

Renata and Valentin describe themselves not only through their successes but through the difficult experiences that accompanied them.

Alongside happy moments came setbacks marked by pain, anger and grief. They share how they repeatedly found ways to motivate one another, continue fighting and preserve the passion that brought them together.

Their story therefore extends beyond competition results or public appearances. It is also about partnership, resilience and learning how to move through life together.

From the Dance Floor to the Show Stage

The book follows a career that develops through several different worlds of dance.

Beginning with competitive dancing, Renata and Valentin experience the demands of training, performance and competition before their journey takes them into a wider public arena and onto the show stage.

This progression gives readers a behind-the-scenes perspective on how professional dancers adapt when their roles expand from competitors to performers and public personalities.

Who Is This Book For?

Let’s Live – How Dancing Makes Us Stronger in Life is suitable for readers interested in DanceSport, Standard and Latin dancing, professional dance careers, performing arts and personal biographies.

It will be particularly interesting for dancers, dance teachers, coaches, competitors and fans of Renata and Valentin Lusin who want to discover the personal story behind their dancing.

It is not primarily a dance-technique manual. Instead, it explores what a life devoted to dance can teach about partnership, passion, success, setbacks, motivation and perseverance.
