Slavik Kryklyvyy & Karina Smirnoff - Samba, Miami 2017,

Beautiful performance of Slavik and Karina at the WDSF World DanceSport Championship in Miami, USA.

[@mitcsenkov]

Slavik is an artist. Ranked #2 for ever, behind athletes - in a competition. But art is not competing, it's something else.

[@CDAFishboy]

Injuries and age have taken their toll in Slavik. He is the best I ever saw, but still a pleasure to see him and Karina dance together.

[@shiro182]

CDAFishboy I agree. At first I couldn't tell if he was thinking too much or his body wasn't able to cooperate like it used too. He's my favorite but a bit stiff. I love his passion for dance regardless.

[@totallyamazing3638]

Yeah, I heard him say that he was having problems with his hip.

[@shotasaito8305]

Karina is the best dancer we've ever had. Her dance is intangible cultural heritage.!!

[@marcellahunyadi7864]

So sad how age takes away one's range of movement. It even happened to them! Tragic, given how they never really fulfilled their best potential (especially Slavik). Still, so nice to see them together.

[@marinawulf2738]

[@JohnALong-nl2hj]

[@user-oi3du3bu6d]

Карина, ты танцуешь лучше всех! Незнаю, что в комментариях пишут иностранцы (наверняка гадости какие нибудь), а мне очень понравилось! Успехов тебе и вдохновения! 👏

[@shivamari8648]

Maravilhoso! Parabéns para os dançarinos!

[@tarcialb]

Excelente trabalho parabéns

[@joetesta3352]

Only a woman with karinas sass and class could pull a little sting number like this off. This is a show dance outfit and It's such a dramatic look that I'm not sure slaviks plain, loose fitting black street shirt is up to complementing it though. I'm normally a big fan of his understated look because it suits him to the ground.

[@JulenikaDream]

Обалденно все,от костюма Карины до музыки и шикарного праздника пластики.

[@pikordinho.o2]

Great job you old div😂

[@PaulaBresciani]

Why do people think this is samba? NO WAY neither dance nor music!!! SHAME!!!! (Brazilian here)

[@TatesWorld5.0]

This is samba ... you think The samba is shakeing body only? No ....

[@PaulaBresciani]

@@TatesWorld5.0 No It's not only shaking the body... ballroom dancing when it comes to Samba is not like that...That´s not even a Samba song, sorry I respect the dancers and everything but it is all wrong...

[@joetesta3352]

Paula bresciani. This style of dance borrows from the basic fundamental actions of Brazilian samba as it does with other latin dances but it doesn't pretend to be the same. To compare the two is to compare lemon cheesecake to chocolate cheesecake. Same base ingredient but very different in look and flavour. Both very yummy however. Follow what I'm sayin?

[@fabiomartins2002]

you have so much to learn dear, vamos começar bem lá na origem das danças de salão, este samba que viste é o chamado INTERNATIONAL SAMBA é uma inspiração no samba brazileiro, adaptado á realidade das danças de salão, foi adaptado e modificado, mas pode ver-se as suas inspirações no samba do brazil, nas batucadas (movimento lateral do quadril/anca), movimento pélvico e também nos pés, portanto foi uma inspiração e daí ser samba okay, é o samba dançado e praticado por nós bailarinos de danças de salão, tal e qual como o tango originalmente argentino que era dançado por dois homens a disputar a senhora, uma dança de rua bohemia, nunca poderia ser apresentada na sua versão original numa corte, na época era impensável, dai ter sido adaptado e modificado de modo a nascer o internacional tango. espero ter ajudado, obrigado ;)

[@davidlimcs168]

What is samba..do you think...maybe I not pro as u are, but for me they dance with the music dance art not dancesport...

[@lunamielleei3163]

Nice choreography. But they need more practice to make it perfect. I thought Karina danced beautifully but lacked some speed or sharpness (in certain moves). Slavik danced kind of stiff. All in all, it would seem more practice would be needed.

[@factsonly4124]

I think it’s their age. They have been dancing all their lives and at this stage it’s finally ailing them. They are still a pleasure to watch regardless

[@Rubi_0902]

Awful music!
