Ines Dragović Pedić was born on February 15, 1995, in Sisak, Croatia, where her dance story began.
She took her first dance steps at a ballet school in Sisak when she was just 3 years old. She immediately fell in love with Latin American and standard dances, which greatly influenced her dance career. For the next 17 years, she danced and competed for HSPS (Hrvatski sportski plesni savez), whose mission is the promotion and development of Croatian dancers.
When she was 20, she moved to Zadar, where she still lives and works today.
In 2017, she founded her Sports Dance Club Bellus, where more than 350 young people from 2 to 18 years old have danced so far. The goal of her school is to promote dance culture among children and youth. The club operates in the Zadar County area and has won more than 150 trophies in dance competitions. Most of her competitors train in Latin American and standard dances, show dance, MTV, and more.
Since 2018, Ines has also been a licensed instructor for Zumba Kids and Zumba Fitness. In 2019, she became a national judge for WADF dance festivals, and she organized her first International Dance Festival, which takes place every May in Zadar.
Today, Ines most enjoys working with children. She is happily married and has a 3-year-old daughter who relaxes and entertains her. Dance is an essential part of her life, and she strives for progress and development, both for herself and her students.
She once said about herself: "Dance, which I live every day, is the love of my life and will never end. The love for this sport is priceless. I want to pass on to everyone the love for dance, like the spark that arises when watching dancers on stage. Love what you do, and enjoy it."
