m**v 发帖数: 99 | 1 I am wondering if it is ok to dancing Internation Latin technique in
American Rythm competitions. I am working on American Rythm right now, but
a lot of the techniques my
instructor is teaching comes from international style (like from Slavik and
Karyna's DVD). And he said don't worry about that, there are a lot of
people using Latin technique in American Rythm, and in fact it is a trend to
do so. But I have other friends telling me that it would put me at a
disadvantage at competitions.

a***e 发帖数: 2094 | 2 I haven't seen him in the quarterfinal list...or is he exempted and will go
to semifinal directly? There's some rule about that, which i am not clear
about... |
|
a***e 发帖数: 2094 | 3 i heard it last week...not sure if it is true
They are not in the quarterfinal list, either. (joanna and michal are). this
makes me wonder more about them and slavik couple... |
|
M*****e 发帖数: 1827 | 4 i heard they retired
i heard slavik and elena split.
this |
|
a***e 发帖数: 2094 | 5 And it's strange there are no official news when big couples like them
retire or split. I mean, if you check dancesport home page, there are many
announcements on some unknown or amateur dancers' split, marriage, blah...
I wonder who is gonna be dancing with slavik... |
|
a***e 发帖数: 2094 | 6 I feel there's going to be another shuffle in the top latin scene...maybe
the rumors are the results of the shuffle, which is in the early stage of
development. i don't think slavik will partner with katarina.
musique, the rumors make me excited, hahaha :D
(sub-rumor; S. Ballas has planned for about two years to make the R&Y
partnership happen.) |
|
M*****e 发帖数: 1827 | 7 i'm not surprised by the sub-rumor. just what i was suspecting. hiahia (:
katarina is way too tall for slavik.
i don't think they are a good match either.
don't know much about andrei and katarina, but they have had a very stable
partnership, and she's about 35 years old. it just looks like flat
retirement. |
|
a***e 发帖数: 2094 | 8 i am not evil, hiahia...
i just don't think slavik and elena are a good match. she is too big for him
. she physically shadows him, which affects the look of their dancing. he
should dance with karyna or somebody of kayrna's size, i.e. my size, hahaha |
|
a***e 发帖数: 2094 | 9 she is about 35? Interesting - looks like this batch of top dancers are of
similar age...bryan (38?), max (34?), paul richardson, katarina, paul
killick(older?), riccardo (33?), who else? how old is slavik? karyna is 30?
beata is 31? how old is joanna L.? i have to calm down to go back to work,
hoho... |

c*****5 发帖数: 463 | 10 wow...slavik is desperately to be no. 1...okie...Hanna is very very good,
but she's ugly...//run |
|
a***e 发帖数: 2094 | 11 i am always a questioner, hoho. But don't you have the same questions?
unless you have gossips you have not shared with us...
Seriously, do you think slavik and hanna are a good match?? i mean, the
style, the look, the general impression... |

went back to Finland, no plan for any try out. |

Slavik Kryklyvyy + Hanna Kartunnen
Feb. 20th. Hanna Kartunnen has told Dance Beat that although she is still
dancing in her heart, she is not yet ready to dance with a partner yet.
From her native Finalnd where she is currently residing, Hanna told us that
she and Victor Da Silva split for personal reasons that had nothing to do
with their dancing. "Our dancing together was something beautiful for me,"
said Hanna. She denied that she is currently d |

a***e 发帖数: 2094 | 14 哈哈哈, 起哄挺好玩的。
没有看到新鲜的呀?
slavik and hanna: no
paul and olga: to-be-yes
andrej and elena: no
What else? D.B.网站花里胡哨的, 找起来费劲, 不过倒符合八卦形象。 |
|
|
c*****5 发帖数: 463 | 16 isn't slavik gonna dance w/ Hanna? and for Karina...i don't think she's
gonna be back to the pro world...after all, she might gain more popularity,
celebrity, money, men(?) by pursing a career in the entertainment industry;
the only thing she's gonna miss is the world latin pro champion title, which
i don't know if still means much to her... |

a***e 发帖数: 2094 | 23 你是老外么? 老外一般看中国人都长得差不多, 呵呵。
Yeah, posture is crucial. when I watch slavik and karina's Innovation series
the first time last year, i totally skipped the posture section - thinking
that is minor. later i watch the taping of my own practice or lesson, i don'
t look like i am dancing, for some reason; i look like doing steps very
casually - and that 'some reason' is the lack of posture, which i didn't pay
attention to.
there is another thing related, which i happened to find in corky and
shirley bal |

a***e 发帖数: 2094 | 24 maybe join hi5.com? 那样就可以把slavik加入好友了:p |
|
a***e 发帖数: 2094 | 25 哼, 上次我听说slavik跟elena分手的gossip很excited, 你还笑我 :) |
|
a***e 发帖数: 2094 | 26 好像是走后门挤进了 “pro final list”
slavik didn't show up :( 让sports people占了便宜, “快”成了标准, no“舞

|
a***e 发帖数: 2094 | 27 you guys might have already seen this, as i am always late in terms of
getting news, but anyway, i wanna see more of them!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ctE7-tNCOF4
the responses are positive in the commentary section. and it looks i was too
naive to believe hanna's words that she is not ready to do partner dance (
although her heart is still dancing bluh) and to believe that andrej has no
plan to dance with elena.
finally i can breathe after a long while... |
|
a***e 发帖数: 2094 | 28 i like the idea of the rumba - dancing makes a lady alive :) |

M*****e 发帖数: 1827 | 29 wat?
andrej and elena?
i'm such a tu ren!

no |
|
a***e 发帖数: 2094 | 30 Somebody mentioned that in the youtube comments section. I tend to believe
that is true. |
|
c*****5 发帖数: 463 | 31 hahaha~~i just got to watch the DVD last weekend and had exactly the same
feeling!!! Sergey is really really good~~~but melia is so so...maybe he can
try out w/ karina? if she's still competing... |
|
a***e 发帖数: 2094 | 32 Great we share the same comments!
I was not so interested in this year's blackpool because some VIP dancers
were absent and we got a bunch of am-turned-pros. But maybe i should still
watch it...
can |

a***e 发帖数: 2094 | 33 Who's that?? Could you please find out? Sourkov is high on my list, can't
thought of another...Michal Malitowski, Riccardo Cocchi, etc. are not as
good as him.
but i don't see many dancers and there are a lot talented people out there.

|
a***e 发帖数: 2094 | 34 Are sourkov and melia a real couple off the dance floor? if that is the case
, there is little chance for sourkov to move to real top... |
|
M*****e 发帖数: 1827 | 35 too fancy, hiahia
sourkov is more mansculine. |
|
M*****e 发帖数: 1827 | 36 curious why everyone calls her melia?
her name is agniescka

out on this webpage, haha :D
http://www.tonyaplank.com/tonyaplank/swan_lake_samba_girl/?cat=59
And he is good looking off the floor! towards the end of the webpage. (some
dancers are not if without costumes and makeup.)
Is he russian or polish? |
|
a***e 发帖数: 2094 | 38 I think i read it somewhere that says 'she got that name because donnie
burns calls her melia' or something like that... |

c*****5 发帖数: 463 | 42 i have a set of latin teach dvd by Donnie Burns and the student couple were
Sergey and Melia in the video. they were so young then~ and I never made
the connection that they were the pro couple nowadays until recently. no
wonder they looked quite familiar from somewhere... |
|
a***e 发帖数: 2094 | 43 You are right :) THere was a context when i said that, which was in my own
mind. will elaborate later... |

could you show some screenshots of how young they are :)

,偶也是有点笨笨的。slavik、karina的棕色系列就挺好。 |
|
a***e 发帖数: 2094 | 48 although DBWP series demonstrate basics, the demonstration is really high
quality, because the releasing time is most recent (in 2005 or 2006? anyway
just before they split). Earlier series like 'see it hear it' or 'innovation
' have more advanced stuff, but you can see slavik's movements are less
refined in these than in the DBWP series. |
|
M*****e 发帖数: 1827 | 49 o...didn't pay too much attention to slavik
but karina is definitely more fierce in her later works
than in innnovation.
anyway
