Nadiya Andriyivna Vasina (Ukrainian: Наді́я Андрі́ївна Ва́сіна; born 11 July 1989), best known as Nadya Vasina, is a Ukrainian gymnast and entertainer. She was a member of Ukraine women's artistic gymnastics national team in 2002–2008, and won two gold medals in team at the 2006 Gymnasiade and 2007 Universiade. She cooperated with Cirque du Soleil, and created her own Passion Show.
Nadya Vasina was born in Kiev, Ukraine, to a family involved in arts and sports.
Her mother was part of the USSR athletic team and now works as a translator. Her father created the first Ukrainian radio stations and some big musical projects, and now works as a main manager of a municipal radio station. Nadya spent all her childhood and youth involved in sports. After finishing her sport career, she started to work as artist of an original genre creating her authorised shows and performing all over the world.
Nadya is known for her flexibility. She has appeared on multiple media platforms, and has gained particular notoriety for being able to fold her body completely in half.
Vasina has garnered attraction for various shows and performances which carry themes of love, lust or greed. Her most famous show; "Rose" which involves Nadya in a red short dress finding a rose from a previous lover, Vasina proceeds to dance and perform to the rose, placing it between her toes and placing them in her mouth. In her show "Money" Vasina starts as a banker in a black suit and shoes, over the course of the performance Vasina realises she is surrounded by money and dances around, on top of, and with the money. Eventually Nadya transforms into a golden plated goddess of money, seduced by the money itself. By the end of the performance, Nadya has reverted to her normal self, pulling a note of money from her pocket, hinting at the ordeal having really taken place. Vasina often interprets her feet and legs into her performances.
