I'm already having Iveta/Pasha withdrawals. I would always rewind and see the look on Len's face smiling from ear to ear because that's where he come proper ballroom, no gimmicks or sexy make believe in your face type of dancing (JMO). I also watch her beautiful extended lines, so graceful and well executed, noticed specially in the Thriller video where she's dancing with Pasha, they're just perfect together, can't explain it but they're magical on the dance floor!!!!
P.S. Iveta posted tons of photos from behind-the-scenes on her FB. She's with Pasha in one of the photos (very happy camper, lol). I don't know if she'll be back next year and my dream wish is for her to be dancing with Pasha again and again and again (lol). I just saw the viewing of this thread, wow, 13,709.

I liked her, too, and hope she's back next year.

In this video if you go to 3.00 there's a shot of Iveta and Anya (Pasha's ex pro dancer) she's blond now no wonder I couldn't recognized her.

Also in the DWTS Las Vegas clip that I posted previously Artem is dancing with Lacey (DWTS), love finding those little hidden treasures. The Iveta campaign thread has climbed to 13,752, impressive.

I would rather she danced with Brendan

I don't know much about Brendan but I'm more familiar with Pasha/Anya and Artem and ex-wife Gisele Peacock in the dance competition before they were on SYTYCD. I love the chemistry between Pasha and Iveta on the dance floor; they're fierce (JMO)!!! I don't know what's going to happen next year (Will the producers bring her back? Nobody knows) so I'm just happy to be able to see Iveta again since I cannot see her performing in Las Vegas.

Here is another clip of Iveta's first audition on SYTYCD, she brought her professional dance partner Gherman and they're dancing a Rumba routine (again choreographed by Iveta), loved her green dress (designed by Iveta herself) even the judges were spellbound by her dancing and truly breathtaking to watch. She makes it to the rest round and this is where she taught Russell (Krump dancer) and at the same time choreograph a very quick hot and steamy sexy Cha, Cha, Cha routine that left the judges wanting more but unfortunately she was eliminated the next round.

Wow, this thread is already at 14,004 and it keeps climbing. I'm glad that more people are getting to know Iveta Lukosiute.

I found another clip of Dancing With the Stars Las Vegas Tropicana, here you see Armen (ballroom dancer and music artist where Iveta was featured, see previous link). Iveta is featured in some of the dance routines!!!

Surprise performance for Joey Fatone in Las Vegas (Short Hip Hop routine), Iveta is at the back on your right.

You see Iveta dancing many times with Artem, one segment she's wearing a long black dress (love the routine) and the pros does a 360 turn and bring her back to the front. She can be easily spotted throughout the different segments. This thread has now 14,06 viewers.

I much prefer Iveta to Aliona never ever took to her. Iveta every time .

I'm glad to hear that you became a fan of Iveta, she's who she is, very humble and caring person. She already tweeted that she's missing the gang and wants update on the dances and results, aww, they're like family to her. I'm appalled this thread is already at 14,134 viewers.

Good morning everyone,

In my previous video link Arten posted a video clip of DWTS Las Vegas show, it was a bit hard to see Iveta so I started looking and found three photos (HD). Her Paso Doble costume is gorgeous, she looks so fierce and in control. I also love the Samba costumes, hope you can see it. This thread has climbed to 14,252, wow, blown away, not complaining at all.

I would just like to see her do one ballroom dance without dancing apart and underarm turns. She seems to mix up several dances in one performance and doesn't show much feeling for classical ballroom dancing. (Oh dear, I have criticised the uncriticiseable!)

Having said that, I still agree that she is tremendously talented and should be brought back permanently next year.

Everyone has the right to express their own opinion and that's fine, anyways as far as Iveta's concern, nobody knows the outcome whether she's coming back next year as a permanent pro.

P.S. Another thing that people don't know about Iveta, she owns and teaches at her Arthur Murray studio where some of her students compete in dance competitions. She also travels to judge ballroom competitions.

I vetta was trained by British Ballroom Champions Marcus and Karen Hilton. She also was trained by Sherly Ballas. So she has credible credentials.

Iveta's other talented gifts. She's a painter, photographer, designs her own costumes as well as other pros that compete in dance competition, does life drawings, jewellery designer and is a graphic artist; she's one multi-talented woman.

Here are some other performances with her professional dance partner Gherman - Ballroom clips.

What Lady Latina said is correct she was trained by British ballroom champions Marcus and Karen Hilton and Shirley Ballas who have trained many successful ballroom champions.

To Lady Latina,

I'm trying to send you a PM but your box is full.

Even though I don't know the outcome whether Iveta will be coming back, I'm just going to stay positive and believe she'll be back on SCD. Her short sting with the show has made a positive impact on people and that's a huge plus for a show like SCD and DWTS.

Erm - should this be an appreciation thread maybe?

Like Arnie said, I'm sure Evita will be back, she has so many fans already including me.

I haven't seen an appreciation thread just this one. I noticed her Twitter and FB has grown, glad to see to support she's getting from her fans and new fans.

That's what I meant - and perhaps this might be best moved to the sub forum with the rest of the appreciation threads.

I love Evitas pink dress with the hanging bits in the first clip, she is so amazingly flexible doing that reverse splits, I just tried that, failed and I think I have strained something.

I'm not so keen on the red dress in the second clip but the white one in the third clip is delightful as is her dancing.
