2009 UK Professional Latin FInal (3of5)

[eupodevocepode]

M&J are the best. Riccardo and Yulia are more natural, but I get chills from Mˆ&J performances. Perfect timing, precision, techniques!!!

[sandydee2001]

I love Slavika and Hanna's rumba. How can they make something so complicated look so effortless? Queen of rumba.

[6981487]

omg, Hanna's feets are horrible at 0:43

[saddy777]

Slavik and Hannah, they are both awsome he is my favorite dancer and she is an awsome teacher and lovely to dance with !!!

[PaidPal]

Who is the couple that appears on the right side of the screen at 0:40?

She is as flexible as Karttunen, and as far as I remember, that's Hanna's movement. Who is she?

[enomis34]

it should be the couple composed by Slavik Kryklyvyy & Hanna Karttunen

[lace1990]

It is Hanna Kartunnen!!!

[koraykor]

@PaidPal r u mad :D she is Hanna already :D

[hobo1256]

LOL look at when riccardo forgets to turn at at 1:29 and shrugs his shoulders and turns on 3. Hhahaha

[xoballroomloveexo]

i love the move from yulia at 1:20 and watch her head at 1:23.

[araikldanceb]

i see Slavik wasting his time....he'll never ever have again a partner like Karina.he's very arrogant no matter how good he dances

[yerffejal]

may I know whos on the gold costume?

is slavik the man there?

how about the lady in black?

thank you!

I think YULIA&RICCARDO will win in time.

JOANNA&MICHAEL ARE NOT that EASY TO BEAT.

-Jeff

[toriluvsdancinx]

the lady dancing with Slavik in the goldy costume is Hannah Kartunen, and the women in black is Oxana Lebedew :D

[badpscrpj]

I really like this rumba! Anyone knows the song?

[ungite]

the song is ''You can reach me'' by Anita Baker

[whiphoward]

isn't it "Get here if u can"?

[whiphoward]

I mean - Get Here

[mals12]

I think Ricardo and Yulia dance a better Rumba for sure than Michael and Joanna.

[AceyBlade]

I agree.

[SuperKokosz]

Joanna has softer moves than Yulia and is therefore more subtle. I also like Joanna's hands' moves more as compared to Yulia. However J&M don't show such feeling in their dancing as Y&R do.

[KRFJmusic]

@mals12 no not at all.. there's just show... not any passion..... i am not a good dancer for sure .. but i see the difference between lie and truth ;)

[Emmanouel7]

watch this 0.28-0.33 & 1.15-1.20

YULIA

[joshuamm1721]

when is the blackpool?

[pendragoney]

i have to say this is the one costume of yulia's that i'm not crazy about. like the new flapper-esque hairstyle, though.

[AceyBlade]

I quite like this dress of Yulia's. Hehe. I think it is extremely elegant and expensive looking and the color choise is on point for this final. I think it is the best dress of that final and they look like the winning couple. But at least we can agree on the hair style.

[pamela2888]

Yulia is amazing...

her movements are perfect and so full!!!

[dance869]

Riccardo & yulia took 2 dances this time from Michael and Joanna at Asian open

[toriluvsdancinx]

wow really!! do you know which 2 by any chance ?

xxx

[lace1990]

jive and i think rumba

[toriluvsdancinx]

thank - you, that's fab xx

[chamcham212]

One more to go for Riccardo and Yulia then. I think in Jive I saw that R&Y performs better than M&J. It will be really interesting to see how blackpool goes this year. If R&Y take the first place this year, it's time for Joanna changing a partner?

[toriluvsdancinx]

I do too, I really love MIchael and Joanna and they are soooo incredible but for me Riccardo and Yulia, are just mesmerizing. Like you said Blackpool will be very interesting, I'm going to watch this year !!! I carn't wait :) x

[paso101]

what's name of this song??

[mikeylman]

Slavik and Hanna's best

[soycomosoy1979]

joanna lost her balance in her 7th spin and arrived too late! :-D

just kidding, marvelous dancing of all!!!

[drebusger]

Michael and Joanna win the Rumba AND the Jive aswell?

Why did they win in the first place? I haven't been there, so I can't really judge, only after seeing the vids from the UK. Can anybody tell me??????

Ricardo and Yulia are amazing!! They should be the nr 1 !!!!!!! Love it.. Real dancing.

[killickkarttunen]

It beats me too.

[benjew14]

Michael and Joanna win for a variety of reasons, the most important of which is their musicality. It's less apparent here, but watch some other videos of them... they do spectacular things with music. Also a much more mature partnership than Yulia and Riccardo (whom I looove).

[drebusger]

hmmzz..really?? their musicality?

Good thing I go to blackpool this year:D I can see them together on the floor.

I hope Ricardo & Yulia will take first place then !!

[killickkarttunen]

I miss that, too.

[S4BM4ST3R]

musicality, maybe, but their interpretation of latin isn't latin for me. slavik and hanna + riccardo and yulia show much better interpretation but i suppose judges look through other eyes

[killickkarttunen]

I understand that it is great dancing. I just don't understand that it is great LATIN dancing . . .

[hymelubbasoccerjunky]

Riccardo and Yulia won Jive.

[ungite]

Wow! Really?! Ididn't know that! I m glad they did! :)
