Franco Formica and Oxana Lebedew split!

According to Dancesportinfo.net, legendary dancer Franco Formica and Oxana Lebedew have split up!

I am shocked, but there were rumours that the pair were involved together privately and that it didn't work out. We can only speculate if that is what led to the split.

Oxana owes much of success to Franco, who started dancing with her when she was only 19. Apparently she was the best dancer in his class, and he came out of retirement and they became part of the top three couples in the world.

Forums say she already has a new partner. If Franco decides to continue to compete, I have no doubt he will find another partner and make it into the professional finals. Him and Maurizio Vescovo have already shown that they can turn any young, relatively inexperienced partner into a super star.


Wish the pair well, hope to see them to both on the dance floor soon.
