I didn't start watching DWTS until this year, so it wasn't until halfway through season 12 that I found out on the internet they used to be engaged. It's a shame that didn't work out--they are both extremely talented and this dance was wonderful!
@ChuckGymFan: I agree with you. She is in a league of her own. With Slavik Kryklyvyy she was the US National Dance Sport Latin Champion three straight years (2001-2003) and runner-ups to the world title. It's beyond me why they never did win the world title. When she was competing, she was considered the best female Latin dancer in the world. No DWTS dancer male or female can make these claims or come close to it. It's too bad she's not as successful wih her love life. I wish her only the best.
Nah. He said he wanted someone who wasn't just career-oriented. He wanted someone who wanted to balance family and career, just like he wanted to balance family and career.
two wonderful passionate people, very much in love. Karina dances very, very seductive and exudes tremendous sexuality. It's a shame these two are not together anymore....I only hope they get back together
The title makes ut sound like this is a rumba from Burn the Floor. It is not. The first Rumba of the show featured Jessica Rafta and 6 leads. Sexiest dance I ever saw. I am sure Karina took that dance and did a masterful job. Wish I could have seen her dance live. She is my favorite just ahead of Beata and Karen Hardy
@AnMaF93 Im not sure what really happend but rumors are that she broke his heart when she broke up with him because she was kissing her season 9 dance partner Aaron Carter.
it's weird to think that about a month after that they broke up..;/ I have to be honest and say that I'm not a big fan of Karina (as a person) and I'm a huge Erin and Maks fan but they have awesome chemistry and they make each other a better dancer, though I doubt that's possible 'cause they're already freakin' amazing!
@dancer1712 If thats what really happened, then why did they wait almost a year after getting engaged to break up? He would have noticed she was not pregnant months before that! + she wouldnt have kept dancing on the show while pregnant....doesnt make sense :/ Are you sure thats actually what his parents said ?? I just heard Maks said he wanted a family and she wanted to be focused on her career instead
to all of u attacking Karina: do u believe everything u read? at the end of the day they're the only ones that know what happened so there's no point in speculating but i have to say i just saw a vid from 2 years ago right after they broke where maks says he doesn't want a girl who's career oriented 'cause he's like that so if that's why broke up then it's ridiculous to put the blame on Karina, he's allowed to be career oriented but she can't 'cause she's a woman, that's BS.
mscentrum04 It SEEMS like it would have been lovely...but in a later clip post wedding cancellation?Maks noted he wanted a family life, with not ALL focus on "career," and maybe she wanted just Maks for awhile-and dancing together.Too bad....but probably for the best.She wasn't ready to be Mrs. C....and maybe not dance post kids?!
y'all are talking like you know them. leave them the hell alone its just a freaking breakup this happen all the time. If they broke that means they dont belong together. let it be.
hm, this is amazing, but I still like the Pasha/Anya version better... here they are too sexy, in the other one it's more flowy/romantic. (Yes, I know, not the best technical terms..)
Maks is AMAZING!
The man oozes so much sex appeal when he dances! Thanks for posting this onto your channel, Lindsay!
Yes Kelly it's not the TV or camera angle that gives these athletes their strong firm body, it's hours upon hours of training every day.
i know they aren't together but you can tell they were so in love.

Holy WOW!!!! Incredible!!!! Thanks so much for posting - I'd missed it!
I love them together. so cute
They were such a hot couple. Too bad it didn't work out.
Couldn't agree more!!!
I like them together
I LOVE those two together! And the musical selection just put the icing on the cake. Anyone know who sings that song btw?

I still feel like when their a bit older they'll get back together and have and AZING family. #
....well I guess this isn't happening anymore. I'm happy for Maks tho
Now he's married to Peta, & with a son!
aww why did they break up and how long have they known eachother?
But I know they are not together now . He's always been my favorite pro male dancer and they dance well together
Does anyone have this song? I tried to find it, but I could only find a karaeoke version.
When Kelly said that she couldnt wait until their dance at their wedding i was like" Well since you said that they aint go'n be a wedding now.
"Burn For You" by John Farnham.
Never mind its "burn for you" bu john farnham
@NikFree24 isn't that the same guy who sings "You're the Voice"? And I agree with you wholeheartedly. These two danced so beautiful together. :-)
THANKS GOD!!!! Maksim is not gay!!! a man can be attractive and good dancer and not gay
+Alex Luna amen to that
just can't believe she let that one slip by:) mmmmmmm, LOL!!!
kind of sad really wanted dem 2 work out forget the first dance culd u imagine a whole room of professional dancers! Awesome!
@ChuckGymFan couldnt agree more!
Name of the sony and who its by ppleeaasseeee
Turn down the audio on this video and watch this to "sleepwalk" by Renee Olstead instead.
@dancer1712 What did she do? I've always wanted to know why they broke off their engagement
The title makes ut sound like this is a rumba from Burn the Floor. It is not. The first Rumba of the show featured Jessica Rafta and 6 leads. Sexiest dance I ever saw. I am sure Karina took that dance and did a masterful job. Wish I could have seen her dance live. She is my favorite just ahead of Beata and Karen Hardy
when did they break up!!!? that is so depressing to hear
What song is this?
@dancer1712 + they also dated a few months before getting engaged so I dont see how this one night stand followed by the engagement can work
does anyone know who sings the song in the video
I think it's John Farnham
thank you
Wait... so are they.. married now ?
@AnMaF93 Im not sure what really happend but rumors are that she broke his heart when she broke up with him because she was kissing her season 9 dance partner Aaron Carter.
@MannyHuhnni You made a good point! I didnt think of that. Now I dont hate Karina so much because of the point you made
How old is she?
She is old
it's weird to think that about a month after that they broke up..;/ I have to be honest and say that I'm not a big fan of Karina (as a person) and I'm a huge Erin and Maks fan but they have awesome chemistry and they make each other a better dancer, though I doubt that's possible 'cause they're already freakin' amazing!
they broke up in 2009 just before they did the emmy performence

I just heard Maks said he wanted a family and she wanted to be focused on her career instead
I can't BELIEVE she didn't marry him.........what a dream boat:) LOL!! it's true though, DANG!!!

He could've done that with Brandy!

dance post kids?!

Now it just makes me sad to watch them...wouldn't it be great if people stayed together.....

@dancer1712 Oh my gosh that is so sad :( I didnt know that. I feel bad for Maks, now I hate Karina!!
