I love how they hold each other before they start dancing.

Slavick And Karina : You Are the best Ballroom couple Ever !!. Your dance is absolutely Amazing, full of pasion, beauty, love and freedom . I enjoy every step you do, every small time you dance with this sensuality, wonderfull technique and Tons of Passion ! You are Unforgettable and your dance is Awesome !!

[@joetesta3352]

This is such a powerful and emotive piece of music and I cant think of another couple with the depth of passion, feeling and sheer artistic skill that could have archived this kind of performance. In this respect I think they are without equal. Visually It looks so smooth and effortless.and none of the stupid and unnecessary facial expressions that dancers pull.. Mesmerizingly beautiful and a joy to watch..

[@lisetardif7420]

Très très beau merci

[@tunafish9062]

The thing is Slavik and Karina always look like they're fully immersed in the dance as opposed to it just being a performance for other people

+Tuna Fish In the DVD I learned from Slavik since I bought it twelve years ago, Dancing Basics with Passion, there is a portion of video of how they prepared the filming of the Rumba lesson in Dance Vision, Las Vagas. She was completely for him, and he was completely comfortable being himself when he was with her. That is the relation I longed for all my life but never quite had one.

This is the epitome of what dancing is all about, parlaying our thoughts, our emotions, our feelings, and our spirituality into movement in tempo with music. It is even better when we can share it with another and become as one. This is what ballroom dancing is all about. It is a form of communication where one can be quite clear without verbalizing. It is best, if one should be blessed, to be able to share it with someone they love. In this, one is never too old to dance, even if it is only with the working parts of one’s body. In a separate interview, I heard Karina say that in their previous pairing, both she and Slavik fought about everything. The desire to be the best in the world took precedence over everything else, including a necessary respect for one’s partner. This led to their separation. They were not able to attain world champion status with various different partners. Their stars crossed paths again. It appears that they both matured and also came to a realization that they may never be world champion. They accepted that. It does not mean that they will not strive to be the best that they can be. More importantly, it appears that they have gained a deep mutual respect for each other. In this, it does take two to tango. Through this mutual respect, it appears they have developed a love for one another. If so, they have the potential for a lifetime of happiness, through both thick and thin. This is my wish for them. They have the potential for something more important than a world championship. It is my hope that they can share and teach the importance of a true mutual respect for the success of any partnership, through all its trials and tribulations. God Bless!

[@georgewu5]

Beautiful as always. George Wu, AIA, ARCHITECT, NCARB 2017-8-18

[@georgewu5]

He teamed up with many after the break-up years ago, But she was so faithful to him, never found another partner good enough as Slavik to be with. What a Love story ! George Wu, AIA, ARCHITECT, NCARB 2017-8-18

[@bebingc]

Nope, she teamed up with Dmitri Timokhin representing Russia in October 2005 then ended the partnership in 2006.

[@lelle9901]

The only couple that can make me weep. Karina got actually better with time, her stylistic choices are so beautiful, so soft and self-assured. And Slavik - what is there to say? Only Bryan Watson can compare, with very different style of course. I will never forgive Blackpool that this couple was never allowed to win there.

[@mn9120]

I have always admired Slavik most with all of his partners... Karina is unpretentious dancer that is her biggest quality...

[@patriciadileonardo4620]
