Karina Smirnoff To Dance With Slavik Kryklyvyy In Dance Legends, Pictured In Los Angeles
This post is for Jim and all of our Karina Smirnoff fans as we know you are missing her greatly like we are. If you head to the Daily Mail, you can see her pictured in some new photos. Wow, have you ever seen such hot work out clothes? Note how she’s wearing dance shoes as well. In case you don’t know, she’s been rehearsing for a new Dance Legends Show with Slavik Kryklyvyy (seen below) that takes place on April 11th in New York City. For tickets and more information, see this link.
Thanks to Alicia…
This touches my heart βΊthey were and still are my fav pro partnership just magical …
I wish I lived in NYC right now. But oh my gosh, I am so happy that they’re dancing together again.
Part of me wishes they would do a pro number together (like she did with Jose Manual in season 14) with Slavik. It would be such a hot performance.
Wish I could go to the show. Where IS that transporter?! π
It will be a pleasure to see them dance together again. When they were both in their primes they reliably produced some of the best cha-cha work in the modern era. Widely and properly considered one of the best professional partnerships ever. There are many wonderful technical dancers that have been and are currently on DWTS. Chelsie, Louis, Derek, Val (for example) are very strong technical dancers. None of them, however, have ever been at the level Karina reached in the early 2000s. She is one of the best technical Latin ballroom dancers ever and Slavik deserves the same respect.
I hope there is a chance to see them on DWTS. I’ve watch their videos on YouTube countless times.
I wish so too, Gloria. That would be awesome!
Steve, I agree. I just love how passionate she is when she dances.
Jessica and Jim, I wish they’d come to Denver!
A larger pic of them have been posted by her Studio.

And to see them perform life on DWTS would be a dream come true.
Wow! Thanks Alicia! π
Great, Steve! Many people who watch DWTS have no idea that Karina is a legend with the highest world ranking in real latin world competition among all the pros on the show (she was ranked 2nd in the world) and these two together were one of the most successful Latin dancers to represent USA in competitions and one of the best dancers in the world.
I miss the pro ballroom dances on the show where we could see the real talent of the pros. I love and admire Karina. She is the epitome of class and remains one of the best dancers in the world for me. She is the reason I watch DWTS.
Incredible seeing them together again. It also deeply touched my heart. Thank you Karina and Slavik for doing such amazing things with your talent again.
There is also this picture of them http://instagram.com/p/mRP-V7iX66/
anyways, one of the reasons I love watching DWTS is because I just love seeing Karina dance. In my opinion, she is on a whole other level than everyone else on the show, technique wise (we all know Derek is the best choreographer) so I’ve seen many videos of her and Slavik together via youtube and it’s just flawless. I’ve never seen such a more beautiful dancer.
Wow! This is fantastic news. I love these two and the amazing dancing they’ve produced together. How I wish we could see them on DWTS! Please, please, please….
Thanks for all the pictures π
I’m so sad that Karina got wasted this season. She’s such a stunning dancer. And she seems so happy and grateful with life. I wish I could go see her in NY and I hope tptp are never stupid enough to pass her over for the show.
Karina is the reason I watch DWTS. She gives the show credibility. Yes, there are some great dancers on the show. But, Karina is the best. I would love to see Karina and Slavik perform one of their showdances on DWTS.
This is really thrilling news for fans of both of them. Those two produced magic together. I hope someone can go to the show and report back to us.
Wow, thanks for all the great pictures. Karina has always been my favorite female pro and I can’t tell you how much I miss seeing her on DWTS. When I saw they had partnered her with Sean I didn’t think she would win this particular season with the rest of the talent they had on, but I hated what TPTB did when they showed Sean’s first package, and then that double elimination. Karina seemed to really like him and what they did was not only unfair to Sean, but to Karina as well.
I so agree @Sandy #14 it would be wonderful for the show to have Karina and Slavik perform for us.
Karina has always been my favorite female dancer on the show she always took her moves one step farther than anyone else. Then I watched a female dancer who surpassed Karina ( I thought ) only to discover that it was Karina in 2002 with this guy I had never heard of named Slavik and while I watched the two of them BLEW me away! I have always thought Karina and Maks were so sexy together. It breaks my heart to see Karina look better with another dancer and even worse to see Slavik actually sexier than Maks. I now think Maks is showing his age and love of food and drink is taking over his love of dance. He is as bad as I hate to say it getting chunky. Oh God forgive me please I never wanted to see Mak’s feet of clay.
I absolutely adore Karina and Slavik together…
Any video?
Karina is the best dancer on DwtS, IMO. Including the male pros… she’s fearless.
Not yet. We have someone who took pics and who is writing a review. She’s suppose to send it later. Stay tuned. π
