Slavik Kryklyvyy and Karina Smirnoff demonstration JIve

[AkihiroHattori52455]

The mambo part was on the wrong beat, so that kinda ruined it for me.

[LollibowsCT]

the most perfect dance show ever! jive and salsa, I love it! <3

[Rybosomak]

I LOVE IT !

[melmelloww]

Hellyeah, like it !

[plebe30501]

sigo enfiebrecida

[plebe30501]

wow a mi tambien me dio fiebre

[Juhel1991]

Who is now Karina's partner?

[pinkcandygirl]

She's now on Dancing With The Stars. She doesn't compete professionally anymore.

[NandoMasch]

Such a loss to the competitive world. It's a shame she's moved on to TV work. (Although I'm sure her DWTS fans wouldn't agree :-) )

[BBoyInTheBallroom]

I love how all these people are leaving the critic comments like they can do any better lol... its meant to be slow... and its intended to be simple... they are showcasing types of dances, not themselves... any of you who have 1/2 a bit of knowledge about this couple.. would realize they arent dancing even 1/2 way lol... get real... stop talking crap and go practice.

[backagain962]

hehehe nice way of putting it. good point though. its a DEMONSTRATION. they're trying to show people what the dances look like, not what the dancers look like

[JoanaLopesSilva]

anyone knows what version of the music is this?

[lastnightfridaynight]

fever - La Lupe

[rockstarrladii]

starts off like a slow rumba then moves to salsa boogaloo style

[AkihiroHattori52455]

i liked it and thought thy were awesome but that song was horrible!

[eviczkaul]

yes, they re on good pozition in a world champions cup, but i know their better exhibitions... :/ but it is one good tooo :D :D

[njlohan]

Wow!! You Guys are amazing!!! I'm a good dancer but not as good as u r... IDOLS!!! Hey u should dance Lena's new version of Fever. She is a cuban singer and actress. She plays "La Lupe" in her movie!! The soundtrack CD is comming out november 11 so u should dance her new version... It has more rythm and sabor... SInger: Lena Burke, Album "La Mala", Movie "La Mala"... Excellent!!! Good music!

[lambojivequeen]

no 1 of dere best dances....

[vi867]

awesome. but that jive was kinda....i don't know. wasn't jive-y enough for me. and pretty slow for a jive. :-/ they can do much much better

[ITANAGAR12345]

why they are so slow. I have seen some really fast and exciting jive.But these couple is very slow

[backagain962]

its slow because its a demonstration. most demonstrations arent as fast as actual showcases or compettions

[ITANAGAR12345]

thanks.. i m like so stupid...by the way I just love dat dance.. even they were slow ( its demonstration)..

[backagain962]

oh no problem. most people think its slow. it is, but its only a demonstration, so it doesnt need to be fast. hehe. do you dance?

[ITANAGAR12345]

ohhhh me dance??????? I love dance but never dance on stage... I dance for fun in my small room... Its just random .. no particular style.. and yeah I am an Indian.. so its difficult to dance like that cos people think dancing a ballroom dance is Vulgar or somthng

[backagain962]

i have an Indian aunt, and her mother slapped her for doing waltz. absolutly astounding

[ITANAGAR12345]

see I am in no different situation than ur aunt.. but in big cities people are start learning ball room dance like salsa ... but still majority of people are sooo narrow minded.... but somday I will definately learn argentine tango..

[backagain962]

-gasp- i love argentine tango!!!! its not as easy as american though. hehe i was taught american first, so it was hard to break those old habits

[pinkcandygirl]

Why did she slapped her?? What's wrong with dancing??

[backagain962]

nothing, but for sum reason its considered "evil" or "unlady-like" in some places

[brntreat]

i thk, b/c of the count and tempo of the track, it's not a jive beat. so they blended it with a little salsa, which is the actual tempo of the song.

[backagain962]

well a lot of jive/swing songs can be categorized as other dances. they dont have to be just one dance. ur right, its not the greatest jive beat, but it still could be a jive. heck you can do rumba to some jives!

[LollibowsCT]

you must notice the change of rhythms, it's not the same when they're dancing salsa and jive, and the counting is different as well

[ssouldancer]

karina is a sexy bomb

[chisokmacho]

anybody knows the song name??

[jjubillie]

"fever", artist name: la lupe

[MixmasterM10]

What a horrible song for a demo, they didn't think this one thru very well. No matter, they are a spectacular couple and are wonderful dancers.

[pamela2888]

Yeah I actually agree...their mambo is pretty bad. But their real ballroom stuff is amazing!

[sambagrrl07]

I love Slavik & Karina, but the mambo/salsa they're trying to do for the second half is really...bad. They're dancing on 3, and they look like they're winging it.

[ladykaramel]

I'm not convinced thats jive

[jue211]

from when and where is this demonstration?

[lastnightfridaynight]

In 2002, they performed at the party held by some popular dance school in Japan:)

I'm not sure the exact name of that school, sorry :<

[jue211]

ok,thank you very much!!

[dwtskid]

I miss this partnership more than I can express.

[blueblizzard1989]

thanks

[blueblizzard1989]

who sings this version of "fever" ?

[lastnightfridaynight]

By La Lupe.
