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!
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,,,
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.
@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
@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
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
@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
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.
Karina is definitly the highlight of this dance to me.
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!
i miss maks and karina dancing together they always do so good
I loved this number. They were all superb in this! Maks is my favorite professional dancer on the DWTS shows...talented, handsome, AND SINGLE!!!! :)
Funny looking at all the old comments saying Val should be a pro and now he's won twice :)

karina.. i want to see you compete again!!
I swear Karina is a robot! Those movements aren't humanly possible!
I met them both!! it was amazing!
@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!
Val should be a pro on the show. I remember when he helped Maks and Laila. I fell in love with him them.
MAKS & VALENTIN ARE GREAT!!!!
Valentin should come on the show as one of the pros!
Karina and Maks were engaged
karina's the one wearing the gold dress and valeriya's the one wearing the silver dress...
@S4BM4ST3R yep she should be still competing like Slavik her ex partner.
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...
Yes, Maks says he is done competing and is sticking to teaching from now on.
Yes but the brothers are both US citizens now, so they are American boys too! Best of both worlds!
What dance is this?
what style is this?
no Val and Val are no longer together. They split in October or November. Valentin is now dancing with Dariya Chesnokova
i wonder if they are even friends anymore never see them 2gether or talking on the show
I think maks has a another brother. What is his name. Not Val another brother. I think he has another brother.
too bad Valentin doesn't dance with Valeria anymore. They where amazing.
@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
Karina is the one in gold, right?
Val has beefed up a lot since this was done. he is so hot now.
I'm waiting for Napoleon Dynamite to join in.
possibly the same way as Alec and Edyta
There's not really much to worry about. I don't think Maks competes anymore.
As much as I love Maks, his brother is a better dancer.
@chiarabocelli Maks choreographed this. watch this interview - (youtu_be/taCy9zCdyGo) replace underscore with a period
@resh2k no pb :)
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.

@copperhead29, ha ha, I laughed really hard (excuse the pun)
:-)
val was def BETTER!!!!!!!!
why she on that tacky wacky famously shingle show??
too much surgery hun
naptime.
watching this now and seeing val described as “maks brother” is so funny 😭
@resh2k Karina is the golden one ;) always ahah
The section starting from 1:16 is CRAZY. It's like she's on super charge turbo speed!
I don't really like Valeriya, but Karina is amazing!!
I wanna be Karina when I grow up! Her ballroom Swagga is no joke!
I just heard that Maks isn't going to be on the show for this season....I'm so depressed, lol
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.
@ronandex19 well Valeria's just an Amateur not a pro. And she's still 2nd in the USA.
@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.
no offense, but the music is so cheesy!

@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.
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.
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.
val is more supple and has a larger range of motion, it seems. although when i watch maksim without val, he always seems amazing.
Too bad Val & Valeria are no longer dancing together. I really enjoyed their dances.
ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuu child
wats val and maksim age diference??
hot. russians usually have a temper. I've seen them dance, and they are FAB!
this is awesome maks teaches me in dance you know
its too bad valentin and valeria arent dancing together any more
Me too! I hope he's a new pro foe season 8.
I love this segment. I can't get enough of both brothers dancing.
Are Val and Val still together?
The song is a cover of 'Canned Heat' by Jamiroquai.
Max like Vlad Yama, but Vlad is better!!!
Hotness definately runs in the family!
Crazy cha cha O_o I really like it!
Next to Valentin, Maks looks HUGE.
@Mamutq canned heat by jamiroquai
Take that, Napoleon Dynamite. :P
@xxviciousbeautyxx
me either
whats the name of this song?
I wish I could move like that!
great!
Only Julianne can stand up to her (:
