A lot of people have asked: this is from Ohio Star Ball from November 2007. It happens each year the weekend before Thanksgiving in Columbus, OH. It aired in 2008 on PBS as "America's Ballroom Challenge."
oh snap, they incorporated an african dance routine in there, rock it out ya'll,....lol, love this pair! they are truly an AMAZING dance couple...gotta love em!
The dance by dance descriptions does not bother me, I only wish the video quality was better. I think this was at the 2007 US National Professional Latin Dance Championship which Max & Yulia won. The first of four for Yulia. The last three (2008-2010) was with Riccardo. Anyone know the dance avenue and year for sure?
I love dance, and this is awesome!!! I used to go to modern dance school: dance is in my heart and blood! I think that the language of the body (indeed, an expressive language) is older than any spoken language... I am wrong?
It looks like she didnt even crack a drop of sweat. Looked she couldve kept going. Love this performance. Ive seen ALOT of people dance but this was like WHOA!! I cant get tired of seeing this.
LOVE Yulia and Max, and this is by far my favorite of all their routines (and I got to see it live twice, including this actual performance!). Was very sad when they split, but her new partner, Riccardo, is awesome too. They were the world latin showdance champions this past year, I believe. :-D
And I'm a ballroom dancer and I can be analytical about routines and stuff too but can that male announcer just SHUT UP during the cha cha section?!
I know it's "Club Des Belugas: Hip Hip Chin Chin" but I can't find the version, where is changes rhythm in the middle, to a more laid back cha-cha. Which version is that?
@SimanSimanS: Don't compare DWTS to this. It takes years of dedicated training to get to this level of dancing. The DWTS professionals are dance champions in their own right but don't expect them to get their partners to dance to this level in just one season. Besides most of the "stars" can't dance no matter how much they try. For me DWTS is entertaining in its own sort of way especially when there's a female "celebrity" that I like. The popular voting sucks though.
there's this other video with a couple dancing to the same song. the couple is from So You Think You Can Dance, actually. that one's more performance based, but it's entertaining in it's own way. and they did extraordinarily well considering that it was one of their first times doing ballroom.
It Is brilliant for a samba or a cha cha, and long enough to do a long routine.
I love doing this with lots of samba rolls.
Amazing precision from these dancers -I wish i had taken up Latin and Ballroom when I was younger-- i was too busy chasing chicks and doing sport--I could have combined the two (and ahd much more success in the first!) If I had choose dancing, ha!ha!
geez highwaysheep! it's a competition yes they have to comment, duh! anyway how would non-dancers know what was going on? i like the commentors otherwise how would people that don't dance know that they were doing a "samba roll" and switching to a "cha cha" etc....?
@highwaysheep This video was from the "America's Ballroom Challenge 2008" on PBS. They broadcast the competition from all the different styles over several nights. Most viewers were probably clueless, as was the celebrity commentator (female - Jasmine Guy). Yes - most of the comments were unhelpful. But it sure was great to watch all the competitions - many showing the big groups for one style going all the way to the grand winner.
Great Great video I just wish there was a way to remove the commentators. There voices and stupid comments are like a scratch on a rolls royce . Still great watching I love it
I wish I could be trained how to dance like that lady!! OUF!! Such a sensual, sexy, amazing dancer she is!! Extraordinary. i have never seen such a great dancer! Beautyfull! Great spirits!
They didn't? What a shame! They were amazing! I do not know what else to say, I saw this video many, many, many times!!! and I am still thinking they are awsome!
Don't get me wrong, I could watch Yulia dance for hours on end, but I don't think it's fair to compare the "real deal" to Dancing with the Stars. Dancing with the Stars is created for a TV audience, for millions of prime time viewers who have little dance background. It's meant to bring dance to a mass audience, which I think is pretty ridiculously admirable.
@OtterPops22: I sometimes tend to disagree with the song of choice for the some of the dance performances in DTWS. That combined with a lousy performance will sometimes appear off-putting and create a loss of interest with their audience.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
This dance is amazing but I think the girls costume really takes away from it - it makes her look like an alpaca and dont tell me its supposed to look her feet look fast - i know that and Im not trying to say this isnt an amazing dance
I tried to do this at home, & silly me I paid the price later, I could have sworn my ovaries fell out by the time I got to the second dance step.
They make this look soooo easy to do on TV. I need to stop day dreaming before I kill myself.
My brother told me you keep thinking you are yulia.. ON your head stone I will put Dim wit sister of mine tried to do the rumba & now she in a tumba ( in Africa thats SLANG FOR casket)
anyway that was A brilliant performance! THEY ARE ONE OF my FAV
I will have to disagree with you. apparently you don't know what competitive ballroom dancing is like and if you don't have the experience don't go commenting things that you don't know about.
incredibleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee congratulatiooooooooon i very niceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee goooooooooddddddddd latino americano fantastic.i m ex dancer congratulation
