Eh. I just wasn't that impressed. Yes, she's a very smooth, talented dancer but the music was pretty lame and they failed to illustrate an emotional connection. I also thought the back of her dress was terribly distracting. I was fixated on the fact that she might as well have been clad in a pair of bikini briefs when looking at her from behind. I thought it detracted from the dance. Dancers shouldn't rely on (however sexy their bodies are) skin exposure to seduce the audience-and I'm no prude.
Yes, no doubt Elena is a beautiful and graceful dancer, dressed and characterized fantasticly. Good body movement and a stylish, elegant dance, though in rumba I need more attention to emotional music, and to showing feelings to... her partner. I am afraid they both danced a bit unattached to each other.Well, all in all they managed to show us a very nice performance. Bravo !
One of the best rumbas there is!!! There is nothing in it that we could call "too much". It is PURE rumba and they dance it beautifully!!! They dont exagerate but they show the love between them using simple figures!!! ABSOLUTELY AMAZING and STUNNING!!!
I simply love this video. There are so many other rumba videos, of course, many of them really great. But this one remains the ONE rumba performance for me, absolutely fascinating. Thanks for posting!
these people have no idea what a rumba is!!!! it is NOT a slow dance. what the hell? if they want to call this ballroom, call it that, but dont act like this is afro-cuban dancing
You live in a small world gilbygil11. why don't you take your poor cuban ass somewhere else. This is called an international ballroom latin rumba. Do you think that there is only one kind of rumba in the world. Why don't you leave your little island and open your mind.
Gilbygil11,...although i am a dancer of International Ballroom Latin Dancing i think you are ABSOLUTELY RIGHT! We abusively use the names of afro-cuban dances and generaly dances and music of the areas of the world (carribean) to describe our style which , to be honest' is british business.... I love my dancing style but i also have the guts to admit that we "use" another culture for our own purposes...
THANKS!!! I really appreciate your comment. British ball room is very legitimate (and difficult), but being cuban/puerto rican, I remember seeing family members dancing at family reunions and parties and thinking DAMN what a fast dance. My wife loves this show but she cannot watch it with me since I blow my stack every time they pass of the "Rumba" being danced to Britny Spears!!!
I tried to explain to her that the Rumba is more of a rhythm than a dance, but that of the three types (Yambu, Guaganco and Columbia) are all passionate dances which are designed to show off the man's dancing abilities.
Sorry to see the partnership end. Sergey was a great match for her. Unlike some other great male dancers, he is rare as he is masculine looking and moving, and that contrasts well for a truly feminine dancer like Elena. Check out also their sexy Samba, the story of an encounter with an ET (Elena).
i'm not too fan of their technique, but they dance a way that you forget that... During the time of this dance, they told us a story. Great interpretation !
no dance, no single execution is perfect..this one definately isn't either. doesn't mean its an excellent and unique performance from this couple. what i like with this couple compared to other couples is the clarity and the simplicity of their every movement. makes it all the more beautiful.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Yea, I feel the same way... it's waaaayyy too showy. No way can you recognize it as a rumba! AND, it doesn't reflect the song or intent, emotion, expression of the song at all. BUT, that's competition ballroom, unfortunately. It's taking emotion out of ballroom. All freaking tanning, plastic smiles, hair gel, glitter, sigh. What about the DANCING, the expression, matching the dance to the music, people?
Perhaps people have different approach and expression with different songs. It's called creativity. Every dance does not have to reflect the intent of the song. This isn't lyrical dance. By the way, this IS rumba...the steps are there and the movement quality of rumba is there. Maybe you should study rumba and art of dancesport before you make an over generalized, and very biased criticism like that.

It has always been my favoueite couple. Their style suit each other so much!!! That is so much like a woman dances with a man... I think Elena's lost a lot of her own, uncompareble moovement. sergey is the best!!!
by the way this is sung by Eva Cassidy; 'Fields of Gold'. I never imagined a dance like this with this song, just another reason why I'm not a choreographer!! awesome stuff!!!
She has the best feet! Her point is so extended, she must have a ballet background. Very elegant dance, they where great together. She had more chemistry balance with him as opose to Slavik.
No way can Surgey compete with Slavic, Elena dance circle around Surgey, he look as if he was standing still around her. Now Slavic makes Elena look better
