Hi dance lovers,
Sorry it has been so long. Life has been very busy!
I was look at Youtube videos and I found the videos of Slavik Kryklyvyy & Daria Chesnokova.
Samba
Cha-cha
Rumba
They actually looked quite good together I thought...she definitely has the potential to consistently make the finals at world competitions. Slavik still still looked like he had his technical powress as well. I think they could have made an excellent partnership.
I think Slavik still wants to come back on the dance floor. The question is...who can he dance with? I think he needs to accept that he will unfortunately never be #1 again.
On another note, Michal and Joanna won UK Open, so it look likes the fight for being the #1 Professional Latin Dancer in the world is still debatable!

How ironic...Stefano di Filippo and Dariya Chesnokova dance together
Looks like another one bites the dust for Slavik Kryklyvyy....his partnership with Daria Chesnokva fizzled out and they broke up shortly after. According to Dancesportinfo they broke up in June.
In some strange twist of fate, Daria will be dancing with Stefano di Filippo. Back in 2009, Slavik had convinced Anna Melnikova to break up with Stefano to dance with him. Now it loos like Slavik's ex girlfriend has left him to dance with Stefano. Daria and Stefano are also a couple in real life!
The dance universe is small indeed!
I am very happy that Stefano is back! He's insanely talented and he could easily make the finals with Daria. I wonder if Stefano will continue to do Dancing with the Stars in Italy...
What do you think will happen with Slavik next? I am now almost 100% sure his competition days are over. I would love to see some dance shows of the classic routines Slavik once did with Karina...he has never found a partnership that could match what he had with her.
Also thanks for all the readers who has emailed me about this! I am so sorry I have been MIA!

Is the partnership between Slavik and Daria over?
I just learned today about the new partnership between Slavik Kryklyvyy and Daria Chesnokova. They will be representing the US.
They were supposed to be at Blackpool competing in the Professional Latin division at Blackpool but they were a no show!
Apparently they had performed at the Sunshine State Dancesport Championships in Miami at the end of April and performed three dances. However although the MC had said they would return to perform more dances, apparently they just left.
A person on Dance Forums says:
they only danced 3 dances and received a standing ovation for Rumba, after doing Cha Cha and Samba......however, in the middle of the 5 dance show, they announced that Slavik and Daria were coming back after a costume change and would be back out (also note that never at any point did Slavik and Daria get a final send off from the MC....they never said anything more about why Daria and Slavik weren't coming back out, everything just ended and I asked a few people why they didn't come back out and you just got kind of a shrug, no explanation....
It was very strange, even now I never found out what happened, but I kind of felt something happened right in the middle of the show...Then Daria and Slavik are registered for these comps and now the whole partnership is supposedly off...
However, according to their respective Facebook statuses, they are both a romantic couple.
In my opinion, I think the two most talented guys in in the Pro Latin division are Slavik and Franco! Hopefully we find out what soon whether or not they will be back to compete!

Real reason for Franco and Oxana's breakup?
Franco Formica and Oxana
Photo Credit: Thomas Morton
Earlier I had speculated that Franco and Oxana broke up because Oxana wanted to dance with her husband, Ilia Russo but according to some rumors the actual reason that Franco and
Oxana broke up was that Franco was pretty disappointed with their 4th
place finish at the World Champions in 2011. It looks like after their
breakup in May, Oxana may have convinced her husband to split up with
his partner to partner her instead.I don't know if this is true, but looking at Franco's face after the results of their 4th place finish, he looks very unhappy. He's definitely not smiling. (7:46)Considering the pair was ranked 3rd in the world and consistently beat Sergey Surkov and Melia in competitions I can see why.
Please note that this is just a rumor, the only people that really know why they split is them, but I am sharing with you guys because I think there may be truth to it.

Is Slavik Kryklyvyy's dance career over?
Slavik Kryklyvyy has the reputation for dating and losing his dance partners.
The latest rumor from is that Slavik will get back with Karina Smirnoff...but only for shows. Dancesport.ru reported that Slavik said this at the Rhythm 2010 tournament, but he says this is still undecided.
Which brings us to the question: is competition over for Slavik?
Slavik is now 34. Bryan Watson, former world champion was 39 when he retired.
It didn't seem like too long ago when he was ranked second in the world with Karina Smirnoff and ranked third Elena Khvorova.He had a brief partnership with Hanna Karttenen, but you could just see in they had no connection on the dance floor.
His latest partnership with Anna Melnikova was by far the most promising after Karina.
They had chemistry, she's a good height for him, and she's also very talented.
Yet, Slavik's reputation for losing his partners remained when they broke up after only a year of dancing.
Slavik is known for difficult to partner. Elena has said this and there were constant rumors of fighting between him and Karina.
In this Ballroom Fantasy interview with Slavik and Anna, you can see the tension when she talks about dancing with him.
She says in the interview ''He's an amazing person, but it's just he's very difficult. But like all artists, he's a little bit mad.''
The sad moment was when Slavik says " We'll see if she's gonna survive for a year" and she responds "Yeah, I will."
They didn't make it.
Another interesting video is his practice session with Karina for the 2004 WSS. He is seen yelling at her at the beginning. You can see some definite tension.
I've noticed that his choreography has also really changed. With Karina, the figures were more connected and there is less separation.
In his samba with Anna in the UK, you can see the use of more solo choreography.
Personally, I think Slavik could not break into the top 4 because of the choreography, not because of his or Anna's technique.
For Slavik to make it, he needs a lady that is good and a partnership that will last. The top 6 ladies are now all taken and in fairly stable relationships. The closest single top lady is Ekaterina Lapaeva, who recently spilt from Justinas Duknauskas.
Slavik could do what Franco Formica did and dance with his best student and make her his partner. Oxana Lebedew is now a star.
Hopefully it isn't over for this brilliant dancer, but his odds aren't looking great at the moment.

Slavik and Anna split up = Anna + Justinas and Slavik + Karina?
So it is official.
Slavik and Anna have broken up!
They were ranked top 5 in the world and it seemed that Slavik Kryklyvyy had
finally found someone he actually looked very good with post Karina. Although he had higher results with Elena, Anna and him had this unbelievable chemistry!
But the impending split looked real, if you look at the World Super Stars rumba from this year. The song choice, Micheal Buble's "Always on your mind" is a break up tone and Anna doesn't appear to even want to go near Slavik. Towards the end...and you can just see that at 5:16, Slavik doesn't want to let this beautiful woman go.
They were dating they began dancing together. Slavik has a history of dating his partners-from Karina to Elena to Anna. So does Anna. Anna dated Stefano di Fillipo and Slavik and now is rumoured to be dating Justinas Duknauskas!
Slavik is rumoured to be dancing again with Karina Smirnoff! Let's all hope that it's true...or I can't see Slavik making the top 3 with anyone else. I hope that Karina will stop wasting her talent on Dancing with the Stars and finally be crowned winner in Blackpool.
Meanwhile, since Justinas and Ekaterina split up around the same time and Anna is rumoured to be dating Justinas, my bet is that we will see them on the dancefloor together very soon!
