Sizzling. Electric. Steamy.
Russian Liana Churilova (former International Latin Junior Champion) and her fiery partner, Emmanuel Pierre-Antoine (World Professional Mambo Champion) set the room on fire tonight at Stepping Out Dance Studios during a free performance to the delight and amazement of the regular Friday night ballroom dance crowd.
This couple is HOT! Their moves sizzle like drops of water flicked on a hot griddle – perfectly in sync, exuberant, but always in total control. In their triple-speed salsa routine, dressed in sheer black with plenty of skin to entice, Liana, a mere 18 with pale skin, black hair and her partner, dark-skinned Emmanuel, are a strong, lithe and perfectly matched pair. There isn’t an ounce of fat between them or a wasted beat. Each second of their beautifully choreographed and lighting-fast routine was precise, fun, daring – and filled with plenty of butt-shakin’ action. Their second routine was more subtle, graceful, elegant and strong, with long flowing motions and languid extensions -- but always, always sexy. There was a spark that bounced back and forth between these two that glittered and shined and rebounded right off their sparkling costumes out into the audience – we all felt it and cheered with delight.
Check out future performances – but remember to bring a handkerchief to mop your brow!
(Please check back, I’ll be posting performance dates & photos as soon as I get them in.)
