Kiev Open European Pro Latin Ballroom Dancesport Champ 2007

[cynthiroshka]

does anybody know the name of this summer time cha cha cha version?

[patrycja7548]

Polish Dancers are the Best !!!

[1969Chronos]

Who chose the music? It couldn't be worse. For the samba section, they are dancing to a cha cha cha tune!!!! They look off beat.

[AceyBlade]

@1969Chronos

Dancing samba to cha cha cha tune? What the hell, man? There's no way you can dance cha cha cha to moliendo cafe.

[1969Chronos]

@AceyBlade Yes, they are dancing samba to a cha cha cha song at 2:00. It makes no sense to me. You can hear clearly the cha cha cha rhythm of the song Moliendo Cafe and yet they are trying to fit samba steps (which require a completely different syncopation pattern) to the song. For this reason, I think whoever picked the music must be innately lacking sense of rhythm.

[AceyBlade]

@1969Chronos

Ignore the syncopation pattern. Ballroom dancers in competitions don't follow syncopation to begin with.

[armenyakdanceclub]

songs name rumba Mana-Mariposa traisionera

[am14990]

name song samba please?

[seravi]

@am14990 "Moliendo Café" by Mina (Italian)

[anastasiyafokina]

cool, i can actually understand what they are saying.

[AkihiroHattori52455]

The last song made my day. I was beginning to think that they had some rule against using modern songs (made in this decade) for competitions.

[hyeeyez]

BLIINN i was there that summer!!! i was supposed to compete in france but didint get to cuz i had to visit family in ukraine.. and this was going on!?!?!?! dang =/ lol. LOVE ITTTT

[pickles899]

what is the second song can someone tell me so i can put it on my ipod. luv yall!!!!!!!

[morrisalsa]

Hi pickles! The second song is "Moliendo Café" (grinding coffee). There are loads of versions of this song (salsa, bolero, son, you name it) but this one in particular I can't identify. It doesn't sound too latin. Saludos desde México.

[seravi]

@morrisalsa This version is by Mina.

[8titemary8]

i love ella ivanova !!!!!!!! <3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3

[Rolsvt]

I love Igor, so sexy!!!!

[swidanza]

Um, I like melia but why, since she turned professional, does she dress like an old lady? It's not very flattering. Under all that material is a nice body. Oh wait U can't see it. Darn.

[xRuMbErAx]

She has an amazing body, but also I do like her dresses. Maybe this one here not the best ever, but I think she does have some great styles really if you think of it.

[icecreamdog0208]

lol at 2:23 the women looks like some bald alien

[kodryanka]

hahahaha

[ballroomQUEEN399]

this is almost physically painful to watch. wait is this seriously labeled right.. open PROFESSIONAL latin?? oh my... honestly.. every single one of them have some MAJOR issues with the fashion side of it. trying WAY to hard. every single one of them. trying to be 'different'. ya well guess what thats not achieved by looking like an absolute idiot!!!!! someone PLEASE get half of those girls some real tanning lotion, put their hair in a creative bun, and a better costume job.

[dance869]

i agree the dancing is good...well only 2 couples really...but idk what they are thinking with their whole appearences its awful.

[AceyBlade]

Not all of them. Those exempt from stylistic problems would be Leunis, Brokrovskaya, Khvorova and Melnicka. Only thing I don't like about Hafner is the material of her dress, it looks very cheap, and the way she has her hair. As for Ivanova it's just the tanning that's awful.

[nawaymahalin]

slavik and elena is here...haha

[seshimaru]

who won?

leunis?

[erdancer]

yes!

[marylovedance]

cha cha song?

[1ela1]

Summertime by Billy Steward

[nawaymahalin]

great!!! i really love michal malitowski and joana luenis...

[LatinMove]

i LOVE the samba so shut up :)

[mrMartinRbest]

love this cha cha

[embryo21]

malitowski , leunis for eveeer

[erdancer]

maybe somebody knows the name of this samba?

[staszkooo]

Moliendo Cafe - Mina

[seshimaru]

samba music is not that nice.... they should have changed that.. and rumba as well.. very bad...

[xxMTBxx]

hey,that's my favorite cha cha song !

[Br0nze]

I have a bad taste in my mouth from the music used by the organizers. It's just ugh... the Paso is impossible to ruin, and Candyman is just a kickass Jive all around. But the Cha Cha, Sambe & Rumba? Ugh.

[AceyBlade]

I understand someone might not feel the Samba, but what's wrong with the Cha Cha Cha?

When I looked at the solo samba Slavik and Elena did I'm wondering why they didn't win this competition. But politics go a long way I guess.

Jan Kliment: Why did you have to cut your hair? :/

Ella Ivanova: Whooo. Someone got too excited when they got their tanning bottle. You have bleach blonde hair. Superbrown tan and nearly white hair =/= good mixture.

[Rolsvt]

Igor is cute tho

[brntreat]

Elenas dress is beautiful.

[xxMTBxx]

slavik is the most talented male dancer ever and joanna the most talented female dancer ever...too bad they didn't stay partners more...they would have been unstoppable...slavik is way better than malitowski,but their partners make the difference

[GreekLFD]

I danced in this commpetition for Greece. It's very nice commpetition and malitowski with Leunis are the best couple.

[cruzados84]

I've got all the competition... 1st round, semifinal and final!!! Oh my God

[IGnaceLEE]

really??? can u send it to me@@

[zorro7500]

it's awesome,it's all about the count of the song,the beats,u got to know how to count the beats,that's how u know what time of dance to dance with what song

[maximilianfink]

I think Sandra knows exactly how to count the beat...

[SandraAlexisGriffin]

the music seems un matched, the chacha and jive looks all wierd:S

[ashwee63]

the beat? the count is 2-3-4 and 1

the song matches perfect.

[ashwee63]

joanna is the best!

[thomasx111]

chacha-> billy stewart-summertime

[Salsademika]

What is the name of this song, please?

[musicbeachdance]

All the dresses are gorgeous!

[kagwangko]

elenas costume id soo great!

[rumbalike]

Slavik & Elena, you are the best!!! :D

[kodryanka]

Elena is very very beautiful, but she is not stable on her feet (look at 1 min. 16 sec. for example). Joanna is much more fluid in her movements. My opinion.

[DodoBebicko]

i think this is caused by the nervousness

[AceyBlade]

... and the fact that she (Elena Khvorova) has never been a very well grounded dancer.

[yourtallness]

Has anyone seen the entire competition?

I'm looking for the title of the first cha cha played in the competition.

It is not in this video.

[yourhotness]

Who's that girl who's brown dress looks like those things in a drive through car wash?

[Rolsvt]

good image!, I don't mind that dress though, she looks good in the samba

[cubadere]

Is it me or is the video and audio for this not matched. Watch the cha cha.

[Laambii]

I think so to.

[Jazz123Mania]

name of the samba please

[ThugOShadow]

Moliendo Cafe but I'm curious to know the singer...

[ThugOShadow]

Great! Thanks!

[jannzsexy]

whats the tittle of the cha3x song?

[yourtallness]

Billy Stewart - Summertime

[steffi018]

joanna leunis and michael malitowski!!!i love them..:))

[tuftufwang]

I hardly saw Slavik or Sergey!! Damn.

[cadancer]

Timing is off from the video :(

[benousekkk]

Slavik´s dancing is all right, music is superb ... But who did the cutting made a terrible job! - The best 3 couples should be exposed more, instead we can see the also-rans, people clapping hands but almost no Slavik&Elena :-((

[bplayer55]

can anyone tell me what s the name of the rumba song?? thanks!

[NoggerBoy]

Angela by José Feliciano!

[bplayer55]

thank you very much!

[1ela1]

Angela by Jose Feliciano

[maximilianfink]

I like Slavik's (and Elena's) dancing so much, but I really don't like his performance in this competition.
