THE gorgeous Latin ballroom dance champion, choreographer & instructor seen on Dancing With the Stars!

OMG!  Talk about From Russia With Love!!  It's Maksim Chmerkovskiy, a hunk a hunk of burning love ... Aside from being a knock-out for a guy, I knew there must be another more "intrinsic" reason for my being so drawn to this handsome man!   Well, it just so happens that he has an Eastern European heritage, having been born in Odessa, Ukraine.  All of my ancestry is Eastern European with fraternal grandparents who immigrated from Ukraine in the early 1900s.

What's there to admire about Maksim?  He's also an extremely talented dancer and choreographer with a spunky personality!  Well, I "get" him and felt compelled to write this fan-favorite lens which includes his Dancing With the Stars memorable performances.

Quick, how do you feel about Maksim Chmerkovskiy?

Dancing with the Stars, the original program 

Category: File - :Dancing With the stars world map3.png|300px|right|thumb|International versions of Dancing with the Stars

Dancing with the Stars is the name of a group of international television series based on the format of the British TV series Strictly Come Dancing, which is distributed by BBC Worldwide - the commercial arm of the BBC. Presently the format has been licensed to more than 30 countries, Australia was the first country to adapt the BBC show, and versions have also been produced in the United States with "Dancing with the Stars", Argentina, Austria, Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Brazil, Bulgaria, Chile, China, Croatia, The Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Germany, India, Israel, Italy, Japan, Latvia, The Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Romania, Russia, Slovakia, Slovenia, South Africa, Sweden, and Ukraine. As a result, this contest became the world's most popular television program among all genres in 2006 and 2007, according to the magazine Television Business International, reaching the Top 10 in 17 countries.

The show pairs a number of celebrities with professional ballroom dancers, who each week compete by performing dances. These are then given scores by a panel of judges. Viewers are given a certain amount of time to place votes on their favorite dancers, either by telephone or (in some countries) by the Internet. The couple with the lowest combined score (judges plus viewers) is eliminated, and continue in the next week. This process continues until there are only two or three couples left, at which point one couple is declared the champion.

Odessa you say? 

Tell me more about it ...

Odessa or Odesa (; ; ; ; ) is the administrative center of the Odessa Oblast (province) located in southern Ukraine. The city is a major seaport located on the shore of the Black Sea and the fourth largest city in Ukraine with a population of 1,029,000 (as of the 2001 census).

Odessa was founded by Hac? I Giray, the Khan of Crimea, in 1240 and originally named Khadjibey after him. After a period of Lithuanian control, it passed into the domain of the Ottoman Sultan in 1529 and remained in Ottoman hands until the Ottoman Empire's defeat in the Russo-Turkish War of 1792. The Russians renamed the city Odessa in 1794. From 1819?1858 Odessa was a free port. During the Soviet period it was the most important port of trade in the Soviet Union and a Soviet naval base. On January 1, 2000 the Quarantine Pier of Odessa trade sea port was declared a free port and free economic zone for a term of 25 years.

In the 19th century it was the fourth largest city of Imperial Russia, after Moscow, Saint P...

Ukraine at a glance ... 

It's very Eastern European!

Ukraine (, transliterated: , ) is a country in Eastern Europe. It is bordered by Russia to the east; Belarus to the north; Poland, Slovakia, and Hungary to the west; Romania and Moldova to the southwest; and the Black Sea and Sea of Azov to the south. The city of Kiev () is both the capital and the largest city of Ukraine.

Ukraine's modern history began with the East Slavs. From at least the 9th century, Ukraine was a center of the medieval living area of the East Slavs. This state, known as Kievan Rus' became the largest and most powerful nation in Europe, but disintegrated in the 12th century. After the Great Northern War, Ukraine was divided among a number of regional powers, and by the 19th century, the largest part of Ukraine was integrated into the Russian Empire, with the rest under Austro-Hungarian control. After a chaotic period of incessant warfare and several attempts at independence (1917?21) following World War I and the Russian Civil War, Ukraine emerged...
