Biography
Originally retrieved from abc.com
Ballroom legend and choreographer Valentin Chmerkovskiy joined the cast of professional dancers in Dancing with the Stars in 2011. Having accomplished all he could in the world of competitive dance, the fourteen-time US National Champion and two-time World Dance Champion quickly rose to stardom, becoming one of the show's fan-favorites for impeccable performances that showcased not only immense talent and creativity, but an undeniable charisma to match. Valentin is also the first and only American to ever win the IDSF World Championship.
Since his television debut, the Ukrainian-born dance champion continues to steal the hearts of fans, both on and off the dance floor. Val has expanded upon his talents as a dancer, choreographer and instructor to create an empire that inspires others through the art of dance. Valentin co-founded Dance With Me Studios, one of the nation's leading Latin and Ballroom dance studios, where he also lends his expertise as the venue's Art Director. The success of the first studio ignited a passion for teaching his craft, leading him to develop Dance With Me Juniors, a program he designed to keep kids healthy, focused and active. Val is also a classically trained Violinist, having performed in Carnegie Hall and Lincoln Center as a concertmaster of the ISO Youth Orchestra.
Philanthropy is also important to Valentin who supports numerous children's and educational charities including Children's Hospital; and as an ambassador for Pencils of Promise, Val has helped build two schools in Ghana. Born in Odessa, Ukraine, Valentin emigrated to New York at eight years old and grew up in Brooklyn. He is fluent in Russian and English.
Val toured the country with the phenomenally successful forty-city national tour Dancing with the Stars: Live! before returning to television for Season 21 of Dancing with the Stars. Val won the Mirrorball Trophy in Season 23 with Olympic gymnast Laurie Hernandez.
He appeared in Seasons Three and Five of Fuller House with Candace Cameron-Bure and Jodie Sweetin, and Instagrammed his name on a makeup trailer.[1] He and Sharna Burgess also appeared in the Fox dating show Flirty Dancing.[2]
