Sergey Surkov & Melia - Samba

[777RaiserHell]

Melia has changed... Look at more resent dances done by her in blackpool 2011 or such... She is changing her dancing because she has finally realized that judges are looking for more body movement. However she is not in the finals of the WORLDS just because of Sergey... Seriously at that level of dancing not one person can make a couple be in the final. They beat olga and stefano in 2010 at blackpool... So point proven there. SHE HAS AMAZING FEET, no one can place feet like she can. PERFECTION.

[roxieee95]

I don't know why people don't like melia...she is a great dancer and she has charisma...there aren't very much female dancers having this

[EngLhag]

Adorei a música. Nem conhecia... vou procurar =)

I loved the music. I didn't know this one... I'll search it =)

[TheBestTuning8]

Chi mi dice per favore il nome della canzone?...Grazie =D

[Nungirl238]

They always have the best music!

[cutieboy24]

The way she dances makes her look really elegant and classy <3 at the same time has so much join in it! They bring such a different and refreshing style to the top pro.

Sergey and Melia is the best <3

[trixiebell8091]

I dont think her dress is 'disgusting', I think thats a bit of an exaggeration. There have been worse, naming no names. It has the colours of the Brazilian sunset and for a Samba its lovely.

[cry4dance]

@trixiebell8091 -

retro style!! thats a "rip off" from Olga Muller's costume, maybe late 1980, or a little later, youtube's got the vid )))

[TheTopmaster]

prodancer6 you don´t understand nothing of dancesport!

Melia is one of the best dancers of the world!

sergey and melia make great partnership!

[patoolkaxD]

Sergey is really good dancer, but Melia's dance isn't good...

[kyo8391]

hate to say it, but your right. Sergey out shines her in the dance.:/

It's sad because she probably worked hard to gain her to do this dance. She should pair up with someone else.

[cry4dance]

@kyo8391 "She should pair up with someone else." - I might agree - somebody leading her well, for her to do some nice body action,or hip action... Some girls just can't dance "on their own" very comfortably, they need a skillfull "leader", she may be one of them ...

[TTTITTTO]

Music: Do You Like Samba (Cyro Aguiar-Brasil)

[chevellerob1971]

Does anyone know the which song this is?

[Tancerz1497]

Very beautiful !

[melmelloww]

<3 Sergey!

[irockbarbados]

i enjoy watching these two dancing, i watch it over and over and over and still can get enough

[candii10]

what's the name of the song?

[ballroomkolas]

wow it's the best!:D :*

[melmelloww]

I want her latin dress =D It's so cute!

[G30rg1aPeaches]

Me too, it's gorgeous.

[jeffhardyman]

prosto superrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr..... the best

[VickyPapapostolou]

MELIA is AMAZING.....i lov her so much!!!!!

she is my favourite dancer and my icon!!!!!

[sarahdancer4ever]

haha yeah pretty much...... wow. whooooo does that

[xRuMbErAx]

She defs can't be, they've been together as a couple for six years at least.

[Sawsoonah]

and like they're MARRIED!!!!!

[typo46]

lol.....random much

so did they just come up to u and say "melia is a lesbian tho"

seriously how did that come up in conversation?

[sarahdancer4ever]

melias lesbian? so how are they a couple?

[xRuMbErAx]

Sergey and Melia are married!

[xRuMbErAx]

Absolutely, I really agree. I don't feel involved and moved by technique alone . . . there has to be more than that to make it special . . . and Melia has that. I could not imagine Sergey with anyone else.

[DanceLoverBibu]

I WANT THAT DRESS...really i will make one exctly like her...to beatifull....that dress fascinated me..X:X

[patoolkaxD]

But in real she is better dancer ;)

[patoolkaxD]

Some1, who gave me minus.

I see, how you know dance :]

żal :)

[patoolkaxD]

... but her dress is really pretty ;]

[patoolkaxD]

I know why they are 4th couple in the World.

Money, money, money... :/

He is sooo good dancer, but she... please... she is so bad :/

For me Gaynor Fairweather and Donnie Burns are still the best ballroom dancers...

Melia is from Poland from Szczecin- my city...

I don't care, why he is still dancing with her o_0

Look at Melia in 1:40-1:52

OMG... so bad :/

With SLOWLY music!!!

:/

[oop1991]

how can they give ALL the judjes money to put them 4th?! and Sergey is still dancing with her because it is his wife now;) they got married and i think they are great together.. but i'm sure they are not 4th in the world because of money, i think they aren't that rich;)

[patoolkaxD]

they are that rich.

I know them.

[oop1991]

but i really don't believe they pay the judges to be 4th... otherwise why 4th and not 1st?? i think they use the money to take lessons from some judges....

[patoolkaxD]

Because everyone would see that they are first by money. Everybody see that they are not so good for first place.

[patoolkaxD]

OMG, her accions are soo bad...

I don't like her dance, but Sergey is Ok.

I like his dance :)

[lace1990]

well they still took 3rd at blackpool in Samba over franco and oxana so they MUST be doing something right in this dance

[chamcham212]

Yes, she dances with Sergey. That's what it is.

[oop1991]

she dances with Sergey and TOGETHER they danced the samba better than Franco and Oxana according to the judges. they judge them as a couple not only Sergey.... i feel so sorry for melia why so many people can't appriciate her dance style, she is so special!

[xRuMbErAx]

i agree, she is fucking awesome and I love her, and anyway I'm sure she doesn't really give a shit what people say about her one bit.

[DanzwintZ]

whats the song called? hus the artist?

[toriluvsdancinx]

its called 'do you like the samba :D xx

[oop1991]

melia is better than most people think... she has a very special dance style and has true expression.... i think she is such a sweet person in real... first i didn't like melia but after seeing her in real she was absolutely amazing!!! they are one of my favourites and definately well deserved finalist!

[smalldancer69]

i agree! i saw them on Saltcup this year and i've absolutely fallen in love with them. "live" they do an amazig show (her personality and confidence on the dancefloor is just 'touchable') Love them!

[livetodance30]

If you don't believe the comments about Melia's lack of hip action, check out 1:23 to 1:50 - that says it all. His hips are working overtime! Hers? Uh, not so much. Come on, this is the samba and you're supposed to be a top professional. Sergey really deserves better.

[Yochab]

Why don't you be HIS partner?

You suck.. Dissing her like that.. That's very rude dude.

[livetodance30]

This is my opinion, but it is an opinion based on extensive study of the dance form. I never said I was personally good enough to be his partner. Look, clearly lots of folks love her and even Sergey himself must think she rocks otherwise I doubt he would have picked her to be his partner. With my comment, I directed everyone to view a specific portion of the video for proof of her lack of hip action. If after watching that you still think I'm wrong, well then there's nothing more I can say.

[Yochab]

Ok, I understand.

Perhaps there was a misunderstanding, and I over-reacted a tad =].

Anyway, personally speaking, I don't like Melia a whole lot, as well. I think that the ideal partner is something a bit more like Yulia, or like Joanna.

It's just that they are a very accomplished couple, and I have a lot of respect for them.

[XxJennaBitchxX]

@livetodance30

in the part you mention, she's stationary. they're good, but they dont have as much body rythm as other dancers (franco&oksana, ricardo&yulia, bryan&carmen)

[niiCkje]

why?

[therejected1]

perhaps they got tired of being number 2 in Poland

[nawaymahalin]

they  are now dancing for RUSSIA...

[niiCkje]

people come on

if you see them dance in real, then you will understand why they dance finals

BECAUSE THEY ARE AMAZING AND NOT FAKE WITH GREAT OWN NATURAL EMOTIONS

[fairy753]

i dont like this couple. no technique, no hip action, no passion, no cha cha, no rumba no samba... what else left

[killickkarttunen]

No passion . . . put your eyes in their sockets!

[swidanza]

Ok now this is the melia i'm talking about. Love it i wouldve liked to see a little more hip from her though, but superb.

[cutieboy24]

btw, love her dress :D

[cutieboy24]

i can see that her technique is a bit strange but idk why i enjoy watching her and Sergey dances so much :P

[honbunch03]

bottomline is we dont haver the right to judge the way she dances. shes proofessional and shes been always in top 6 copules in the world... dnt have right to question her.. shes been judged and ranked by world professional adhudicators..so probably she ha sumthing.... love her base...^^,

[8Stellina6]

Sergey è in assoluto insieme a Slavik uno dei MIGLIORI balleriniii!!

[Emmanouel7]

do you know what is the name of this song?

[lordbarna]

Do you like samba? thats the song s name

[Raushanya]

I think only the flawless technique makes a professional dancer special and unique.

[cubadere]

So if your special and unique you can change the technique. Interesting.

[Caskader]

That then makes Melia really really special. Not only does she change the technique, she completely discards it.

[killickkarttunen]

She does pretty good then, to be 3rd in the world besides that, don't you think? Can you imagine then how it would be if she didn't 'completely disregard' it - the girl would be unstoppable!

[Caskader]

Don't misquote me. I don't care how she places, to me she's profoundly uinteresting as long as her dancing is but arms, legs and face.

[killickkarttunen]

No misquote, they were your exact words.

[ProDancer6]

Melia has no bounce action or hip action whatsoever, watch her rumba and cha cha absolutely awful. She only gets through because of sergey and why does she always wear disgusting dresses that are so long and baggy to hide her non excistent hip action. Sergey is amazing though, to be honest they shouldn't be in the final of blackpool it should be eugene or maurizio.

[Raushanya]

+1000000000000000000000000....­.....

[AceyBlade]

Ms.Raushanya, your opinion means shit.

You've arleady proven in other videos how clueless you are to dancing.

I would encourage people to watch the samba of this years German Open. They both absolutely rock the dance there and Sergey is really on F I R E.

[xRuMbErAx]

They were incredible to watch live - they OWNED the whole competition there in Stuttgart.

[Raushanya]

Dear AceyBlade, I am sorry but your opinion means shit to me too. Don't waste your time I don't care really about you and your flawless taste.

[yourhotness]

Sergey is hott

[elis007]

wow.... its great when they slow down the music.... very good!

[cubadere]

Why does she do all her basic actions on straight legs?

[erdancer]

coz she is special and unique

[nawaymahalin]

that's not the point of cubadere,,,,what he means, samba is a dance with bending-knee action not straight legs action-it's cha cha....

[davidbenaiges]

Well that's why she is special and unique, cause she's the only top dancer who can't do it :DD

[infinitechamp3000]

@davidbenaiges lol

[modellodg]

the song???????pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeee­ee

[toriluvsdancinx]

its 'Do you like the Samba'

xx

[Caskader]

No matter how desperately I tried I don't think I could get through a samba with as little body action as Melia, she's unbelieveable!

[dance869]

i really like them here too

[toriluvsdancinx]

These 2 never used to be my favourites but this performance has totally changed that. That was sooooo gooood its untrue!! They look like they're having a really good time and dancing because they love to dance, i think thats fab. Love the chose of dress aswell wow! so cool.x

[Sanchis]

BEST!

[killickkarttunen]

She is so special!
