OM-freaking-G!!!

I am not happy about this!

This makes me sad.

It could spell the end for Mirko as well, and I do enjoy watching his dance styles. I actually find I have very similar natural technique and lines to him.

No doubt major SHOCK!, Mirko and Edita were in many ways better than Arunas and Katusha, (Tango and Quickstep - way better), but definitely way way way more impactful!!!! ...and definitely deserved to be #1

I don't know what Mirko will do, but it wasn't a joint retirement announcement, so I would have to think that he will continue dancing competitively......

glad I'm not going to Dance Legends, that's a major hole in the program to lose Mirko and Edita...there is not alot of people that I would pay that much to see, Mirko and Edita would be up there with Slavik, other than that I don't think it's much of draw except for Michael and Joanna

NOOOO! This makes me incredibly sad.

I wonder if her and Mirko will continue doing shows together if he ends up retiring as well. This is definitely a loss to the ballroom community

Possibly, Mirko can dance again with Alessia?

 

[TinyDancer109]

well that was a short come back out of previous retirement.

Possibly, Mirko can dance again with Alessia?

If they follows the form of other retiring couples/singles, I expect they will perform at Dance Legends and anywhere else they've already agreed to. But may not accept additional bookings.

I'm sorry to hear that. She is an incredible dancer.

 

[neakor]

No!!! I love her and Mirko. The kids and family must be putting a lot of stress on her career... what a shame.

 

[chomsky]

they were so nice together...
