About Andrey Tarasov and Yulia Kuznetsova:\u00a0 <\/strong>These two have been partners for only three years, but both started dancing as children in Russia, Andrey at age nine, Yulia at six. Yulia’s mother signed her up for both ice skating and dance; worried about falling on the ice and bloodying her knees, she gave up skating to focus on dance. These two Russians didn’t meet until they moved to Los Angeles and began competing on the American circuit. In 2012, between partners, Yulia called Andrey and suggested a tryout. They clicked immediately. Since turning professional two years ago, they’ve quickly risen through the Latin ranks, making the finals in many top competitions \u2013 including the Ohio Star Ball for two straight years. Asked what their greatest strength as a couple is, Andrey replied “My greatest strength is my partner, Yulia.”<\/em><\/h6>\n
