Anastasia is a sister of Anna Melnikova, and this competitions was the first one for this couple, who became partners late last year or early this year. The music is “Do the Cha Cha Cha” by Alex Swings Ocar Sings from the album, Super Latin 2.

This video is from the 2010 San Francisco Open. Evgeny Imrekov & Elizaveta Divak won. I believe this is the second time they won in the U.S. Elizaveta now has dark hair, which looks good on her. I wish the video were a bit longer. Oh, well….

This is the first one for Nikita Brovko and Alina Zharillina on this site. They were doing well in 2009; however, they are no longer dancing together. They split in December 2009 and Nikita is dancing with Anastasiya Melnikova, who I believe is Anna Melnikova’s sister.

This video is from the 2009 German Open Championship where they placed fifth.

This rumba presenation by Franco Formica and Oksana Lebedewa is from the 2010 UK Open. I remember there were some missed connections in last year’s UK Open but they are as smooth as they can be in this year’s presentation.

This high quality video is from the IDSF Grand Slam Final held in Shanghai on Dec. 13, 2009. You’ll see two solo rumbas. The dancers are Alexey Silde/Anna Firstova and Jurji Batagelj/Jagoda Strukelj. The video quality is good but the camera focuses too much on close-ups.
