You know it's good when you can watch it without sound and still be in awe. My computer sound card is currently messed so it's nice to see there's plenty of stuff to watch without sound.
Slavik had more connection with Karina. Meaning, he made more physical content with her and even more eye contact. He did not do that with Hanna, Elena or any other. It seems in Karina he met his equal. Not sure why they ever ended their partnership. It seemed so perfect.

Aren't you getting tired of trolling all these "latin dancesport" videos, HunterstonB? I'd suggest you take your energy and put it to something useful, like practising whatever dance style you prefer over this.
Just clicked on your profile from another danceport related video where you say the same thing. Are you just trying to get a reaction or seeking attention or something? You know at your age you should have learn't by now that not everybody likes the same thing, why not move on an watch something you do like rather than commenting on something you clearly not only don't , but have no understanding of.

You can not dance cha cha with this kind of music, it is like dancing rocking roll with a salsa song. I do not know who invented this kind of mixture but it is a offense to the cha cha!
Karina is such an inspirational dancer. For me, she is the best and iv seen alot, iv seen the world champions in action. As a dancer of 5 years, i one day hope to be 1/100 of what Karina is - thats if im lucky x
great footwork and very strong legs! ah.. i hope I can be like that too.. I just started dancing "dancesport" since August2008... Hope someday I can dance like that!
Give yourself some time. I'm an instructor and have been coached by the best and am nowhere near Karina's caliber. But, everyone has their own style and grace, enjoy your uniqueness.
A lot of times I lost many competitions that's why I am now loosing my confidence in dancing ballroom.. I think I cannot do it perfectly like others do.. But you're right I think I should have my own personality and uniqueness in dancing.='C
who sings this song? i know it's called chain of fools and there are like 500 different versions of it but i want this particular artist..anyone know who it is?
I am not a professional, but, I recently saw Carmen Vincelj in an exhibition...and I must say that in my opinion Karina looks and dances better overall, technically and artistically. Karina should be #1 in the world. If someone could please enlighten me on what the judges look for to rank the dancer. I would appreciate it!
Any judge will list the following: footwork, timing, line, floorcraft, rhythm, etc. but at this level all are doing these things pretty well. You have to concentrate on how the couple looks together. Watch for choreography with too many tricks. Are they dancing well enough through their basics to maintain the true character of the dance. Believe it or not, choice of costume and hair style can also help or hinder.
This is just my opinion, but I believe there are at least 4 top female dancers who are superior to Carmen - Yulia, Joanna, Karina, Beata. I believe Carmen is ranked where she is purely due to Bryan Watson, who is superb. To me, Carmen is certainly competent, but there's simply nothing special about her dancing. I never watch a performance of hers and feel she does things I could never do; whereas, I always feel inadequate and inspired to work harder whenever I watch Yulia, Joanna, or Karina.
you are right, and your statement reminds me of mirko and alessia....it always looks(looks, maybe it's not) as if mirko had tons of talent and skills, while alessia just follows and that's it.
clearly you can not simplify like that, but maybe you get my point.
to clarify: i love watching both carmen and alessia. it's just a thought...
@tranquillity91 Mirko success in my opinion is pretty mach was created by alessia.
If you watch carefully you can see how she compensate for his questionable thinks a lot. Well it is only my opinion, but I am not sure how far Mirko can go with out her. She did not look too spectacular not because she can not dance, but she did a lot of invisible work.
Karina is such a DIVA!!! So much feminity and sensuality together with her equisite moves... the world of ballroom is much weeker without her, she should come back as soon as possible!!!
Slavik is absolutely phenomenal here - without a doubt...
i was expecting for michael malitowski and joana leunis as well with eugene katsevman and maria manusova who just turned professional..but i was really amaze that riccardo and yulia have been here likewise with the stokkebroe's...
Yes NAWAYMAHALIN,I'm from Philippines!& U?.. kamusta ka?hehe,r U also a dancer?from where are U?we could talk about dancing if U like. Just reply on me anytime! Thank You! I just like the tandem of KARINA&SLAVIK, I do hope that Ms.EDNAH LEDESMA,our FIRST FILIPINA who won in 2005 BLACKPOOL DANCE FESTIVAL would be as famous as them, together with MIGUEL DELA SERNA. They still have a chance even if they're already SENIORS! bye bye! TC!
i'm from makati..beginner pa lang po me..still looking for a partner...honestly, i'm not yet impressed with the dancing of ms. edna compare to other famous dancer...but still i'm hoping that they would be recognize...hehe...
Why did KARINA SMIRNOFF did not attend the "1st Philippine Starball", I am waiting for her! I miss KARINA&SLAVIK on the dancefloor!
I am also looking for MELINDA TOROKGYORGY!
By the way ANNA TREBUNSKAYA & YULIA ZAGORUYCHENKO had joined the competition, ANNA did not win but I'm still glad coz i have watched her. YULIA got the
"FIRST PLACE" in PROFESSIONAL LATIN,she's very great!
And MAXIM KOZHEVNIKOV split up with her??coz they did not danced together! They're my idols in LATIN DANCING!
