When it comes to execution and perfection of choreography, count on Karina to deliver every single time. She is truly elite. No one has swagger like her!
OMG!!!! DWTS could turn into a "family of pros" show. Will be interesting to watch how many DWTS picks up. Maks and his brother, Alec Mazo and his brother, Lacey and her brother, Derek and Julianne. And they all dance great. Thanks for posting.
Yeah, he isn't one yet. But he is getting there soon. Someone in another video commented that he is now 1st in US amateur since the previous 1st place couple turned pro. I hope Val does come one season to compete. He'd be a great addition!
@belladharma you might be right on this one. i saw a clip of paparazzi asking him what he wants in a woman and i'm assuming it was close to when the break up happenned b/c he doesn't say what he wants, he says he now knows what he DOESN'T want. He claims that a person who is ONLY career oriented is not what he's looking for. I think he's arrogant, like when he made comments in public about lacy schwimmer's weight, but season 10 made me lighten up to him b/c of Erin Andrews i think
please give karina back to slavik,,, i love them together,,, it hurts me a lot to know that it is almost impossible that they'll be back,,, however miracles happen,,, so i'll keep clinging on my hope,,, and that is miracle,,,
Now that Maks and Karina are a "couple" I can't wait to see if they both come back to DWTS in March. I want to see how hot they dance with each other during any pro's segment.
@GirlieRat I wonder if they karina and maksim even talk back stage this season it must b awkward backstage and if mark and chelsie are dating i wonder if they r even friends anymore they had 15year friendship b4 dating
@NEWARKGIRL22 well one can only speculate but as a dancer, if you are working with someone you must talk for the good of the group. I'd bet it's a "strictly business" arrangement. I wondered about this after Maks and Louis made crappy comments a while back about Lacey and Cheryl's weight needing "something to do about it"...I was like, I couldn't even look at someone after saying that and soon after, they were partnered for a pro dance. Again, collaboration for the good of the show

First you have to realize that what you see on DWTS is what the producers WANT you to see. They put the clips in there that makes you think Maks is a "bad boy"...well, Val is pretty strict too. Watch some of the clips when Zendaya was his partner, he was very INTENSE, as she put it. I've never seen Maks screaming and yelling at any of his partners, have you? All the pros get tense and upset at times - even Tony, sweet tempered Tony stormed out of rehearsals when he was paired up with Kate Gosselin saying "I QUIT" - and he also punch another competitor on the dance floor at a professional competition one time. Also, they are BOTH fabulous dancer. Point in fact I prefer Maks style of dance because he is very masculine. Big guy, wide shoulder and that behind of his and as far as looks - as they have aged, hands down MAKS is the better looking brother.

Karina is definitly the highlight of this dance to me.
watching this now and seeing val described as “maks brother” is so funny 😭
I loved this number. They were all superb in this! Maks is my favorite professional dancer on the DWTS shows...talented, handsome, AND SINGLE!!!! :)
i miss maks and karina dancing together they always do so good
I love this segment. I can't get enough of both brothers dancing.
Funny looking at all the old comments saying Val should be a pro and now he's won twice :)

The section starting from 1:16 is CRAZY. It's like she's on super charge turbo speed!
Can you imagine the intensity Maks and Karina would bring if they were to compete together? They would be so fantastic!!!!!
They did compete against each other when they used to do professional competition. Karina was with Slavik and Maks was with Elena.
I met them both!! it was amazing!
I swear Karina is a robot! Those movements aren't humanly possible!
karina.. i want to see you compete again!!
@ronandex19 that's Valeria, Valentin's old partner, she's an amazing dancer, but Karina yes is more experienced and amazing.
Maksim is a beautiful man and a beautiful dancer.
karina you rock the queen of dance!!!!!!!!!
Yeah, he isn't one yet. But he is getting there soon. Someone in another video commented that he is now 1st in US amateur since the previous 1st place couple turned pro. I hope Val does come one season to compete. He'd be a great addition!
I wanna be Karina when I grow up! Her ballroom Swagga is no joke!
MAKS & VALENTIN ARE GREAT!!!!
this is awesome maks teaches me in dance you know
The song is a cover of 'Canned Heat' by Jamiroquai.
Val should be a pro on the show. I remember when he helped Maks and Laila. I fell in love with him them.
I just heard that Maks isn't going to be on the show for this season....I'm so depressed, lol
Valentin should come on the show as one of the pros!
Karina and Maks were engaged
great!
Crazy cha cha O_o I really like it!
@resh2k Karina is the golden one ;) always ahah

I don't really like Valeriya, but Karina is amazing!!
Me too! I hope he's a new pro foe season 8.
Yes, Maks says he is done competing and is sticking to teaching from now on.
please give karina back to slavik,,, i love them together,,, it hurts me a lot to know that it is almost impossible that they'll be back,,, however miracles happen,,, so i'll keep clinging on my hope,,, and that is miracle,,,
@33mallo33
He's actually, along with his partner Daria, the #1 North American Amateur Champion...
Now that Maks and Karina are a "couple" I can't wait to see if they both come back to DWTS in March. I want to see how hot they dance with each other during any pro's segment.
Next to Valentin, Maks looks HUGE.
karina's the one wearing the gold dress and valeriya's the one wearing the silver dress...
@HAZIDEAD I have asked myself that question also, maybe they tape it to their leg, or that could be why they were such loose fitting pants.
Yes but the brothers are both US citizens now, so they are American boys too! Best of both worlds!
val is more supple and has a larger range of motion, it seems. although when i watch maksim without val, he always seems amazing.
whats the name of this song?
hot. russians usually have a temper. I've seen them dance, and they are FAB!
Too bad Val & Valeria are no longer dancing together. I really enjoyed their dances.
Karina is the one in gold, right?
no Val and Val are no longer together. They split in October or November. Valentin is now dancing with Dariya Chesnokova
What dance is this?
@ronandex19 well Valeria's just an Amateur not a pro. And she's still 2nd in the USA.
@StacyOnt I wonder if they karina and maksim even talk back stage this season it must b awkward backstage and if mark and chelsie are dating
Hotness definately runs in the family!
@S4BM4ST3R yep she should be still competing like Slavik her ex partner.
what style is this?
wats val and maksim age diference??
Are Val and Val still together?
i wonder if they are even friends anymore never see them 2gether or talking on the show
I wish I could move like that!
too bad Valentin doesn't dance with Valeria anymore. They where amazing.
@GirlieRat I wonder if they karina and maksim even talk back stage this season it must b awkward backstage and if mark and chelsie are dating i wonder if they r even friends anymore they had 15year friendship b4 dating

Take that, Napoleon Dynamite. :P
I think maks has a another brother. What is his name. Not Val another brother. I think he has another brother.
Val has beefed up a lot since this was done. he is so hot now.
Love val, he is soo much better than maks in every way. He has a better attitude, is cuter and a better dancer not to mention he is also a musician.

its too bad valentin and valeria arent dancing together any more
I'm waiting for Napoleon Dynamite to join in.
As much as I love Maks, his brother is a better dancer.
There's not really much to worry about. I don't think Maks competes anymore.
Max is hot, hot, hot, hot and single. How great to be able to dance with his also hot brother. This was a fun number.
possibly the same way as Alec and Edyta
@ensarace The one that looks like Karina is the her. The girl in the GOLD. I don't care for her personality or her accent.
@resh2k no pb :)
@chiarabocelli Maks choreographed this. watch this interview - (youtu_be/taCy9zCdyGo) replace underscore with a period
@Mamutq canned heat by jamiroquai
Only Julianne can stand up to her (:
@xxviciousbeautyxx
me either
ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuu child
Max like Vlad Yama, but Vlad is better!!!
@copperhead29, ha ha, I laughed really hard (excuse the pun)
:-)
val was def BETTER!!!!!!!!
no offense, but the music is so cheesy!
why she on that tacky wacky famously shingle show??
too much surgery hun
naptime.
