Thanks for the pronunciation. I wasn't sure if it was "Shy" or "Shay".

Congratulations to Peta and Maks! Looking forward to the C-family pictures when they come out!

Thanks to Lesalle for research on the meaning and pronounciation of Shai. Aleksander, I think, is also the first name of his grandpa. Not many people may know the meaning of Shai unless they're Jewish; and a 'shy' Chmerkovskiy is a contradiction in itself somehow- so he might become famous in the dance world as 'Aleks'.

Sweet P and Maksim.........can't wait until little Shai can come visit St Petasburg!!

Do we have a changing table somewhere for Maks to fulfill his duty?

Hey sis are you familiar with a free newspaper called 24 Hrs in Toronto? Sharna is on the cover with a lengthy article inside.

by **kincaid53** Thu Jan 05, 2017 1:05 pm

The article is called 'Strictly Sharna'. You can find it under 24 Hrs in Toronto/Sharna....

We have talked a bit about Peta's confidence and sense of her own worth. I see Peta as a strong, self assured "fierce woman. Never will she be subservient to Maks nor do I believe he would ever want her that way.

When Peta became a pro on DWTS the show slotted her as their resident sexpot and insisted she play that role. She was ripped to shreds on the old ABC board, called horrible names. But Peta handled it like royalty, smiling through it all. Gradually fans began noticing her talent, beauty and star quality. I think people began to see the real Peta about the James Maslow season. Oh she still got bashed but the tone began to change to respect and admiration. Her season with Tommy cemented her growing admiration society and that amazing work she did with Nyle has elevated her to the stratosphere.

I believe Queen Peta is a happy, successful and fulfilled woman, completely comfortable in her own skin.

I have no doubt she is all the things you say and I didn't mean to say she would be subservient to Maks. I love Peta. I think she is special.

by **Lesallee** Sun Jan 08, 2017 11:01 pm

I know you are a true Peta fan, Glitters. I was really addressing some of the thoughts bailladora shared.

Lesallee I agree--beautiful pictures of Aly!

I've been discovering some more compilations on YouTube. You may have seen this one already, but here are Tommy and Peta's rehearsal packages. This video was posted in 2015 and shows what a fun challenge Tommy was for Peta. Peta was the perfect partner for Tommy.

Here is the newest Sharna compilation--her Tangos and Argentine Tangos from Seasons 18-23 and includes her partners Charlie, Noah, Nick, Antonio, and James. Her switch-up Argentine Tango with Andy Grammer had be be left out because of copyright issues.

WOW!

Thanks, sue. We had such fun with Tommy's and Peta's season. She truly was the perfect partner for him. They had fun too.

I just watched a lot of Tommy and Peta's rehearsals and dances again. Still puts a big smile on my face.
Charlie and Sharna are next. Some of their routines were so underestimated...
