Young Slavik in Competition -- Chacha

[Luccaandrea]

From what i've heard they train absurdly much and he would even like to train 80 hours in the week. This and the fact ?? that he hit her, eventually maked that she quited with him

[JSA05]

If this was 1997 and he was world champion in 2000 there must have been some amazing teachers and a great deal of hard work to change that much.

[Hunokmagyar]

The song is called La Mediteranneé. And i agree: the song sucks, the lady lacks a bit of level, the choreography is sometimes a bit corny-even for 1997- but people, look closer: you see Slaviks style already. In the end-this IS Slavik. I like the fun and love for movement!

[NaughtGinger]

@kasunsannie4life LOL-good one-except I thought he actually did connect with karina-their samba was too die 4-that one asian competition that they won like in 2004 or 2005-every dance flows and they are spot on-best dancing i've witnessed from him. but u made me LOL-so thanks!

[tayo992]

0:29 looks rather paso doble. Plus he isn't connected to her.

[xRemixD]

yes it slavik and yes we can get pro if we work seriously ..

[GeneralSaltykov]

also I doubt, that it is 1997. I quit my dancing in that band in 1993. So, this here could be 1995 the latest.

[dlrsa2]

the music sucks and that girl isnt a good dancer. Slavik is so much stronger of a dancer than her!

[bojanche007]

Slavik was a World Champion in 2000. There is hope for us all!

[Guxto]

Thanks GOD passed 10 years.... LOL

[georgewu5]

If that was Slavik before,I agreed with Princessleanne

"There is hope for us all!!!"

Once I found out what Slavik had done to himself, perhaps I might find out the secrets of Latin? He is

so good now!

[partyholic101]

how old was he

[Guxto]

10 years before!!! LOL

[laurapink123123]

The girl looks so bad and this song sucks!

[musicbeachdance]

Yeah and they need to dance together more often

[princessleanne]

There is hope for us all !!!

[ponqqonp]

Can this really be 1997? Compare to youtube . com / watch?v=18brS0UB9Rg for example...

[wormslev]

[dkern008]

[fairy753]

[dancesportfreak]

yup thats 100% Slavik kryklyvyy *cough*sarcasim*cough*

[wutaiyuffie]

he's dancin is far different from than now..and his attitude too^^

[edzins]

His not bad, he just has silly choreography and bad lady

[Caskader]

Are we sure this is 1997? If so he was an amateur world champion three years after this...

[MrNico89]

just wondering...what place did he get in the competition ?

[killickkarttunen]

Wow . . . who is the lady?

[GeneralSaltykov]

the lady is lena, or Alyona Fedorchuk, a daughter of the trainer Valentina Fedorchuk, in whose band Slavik then danced.

Gosh, I still remember them, and the other couple (to the left from them, Natalya Bednyagina/Igor Shnurenko, behind them later the Champion of Ukraine in 10 dances Vitalik Rudenko.)

[ronyboy24]

And to think, he hasnt been dancing professionaly that long.

[MrNico89]

he he...a little differnt from todays slavik :D
