cool ballroom choreography - The Matrix by Max and Yulia

This is one of my favorite ballroom choreography by Max and Yulia - a tribute to the 'Matrix' movie.  I love how they captured the essence and spirit of the movie.  The running sequence by Yulia reminded me of the way Trinity ran in the Matrix I and the slow-mo parts just reminded me of the slow motion sequences in the movie that made it so special for me at that time.

Max is Maxim Kozhenikov - he's retired from competing and is doing showdances with Beata.
Yulia is Yulia Zagoruychenko - Yulia is competing with Riccardo Cocchi and is currently ranked #2 in world in International Latin.
