Maksim "Maks" Chmerkovskiy

It is well-known within the DWM Family that if you had asked Maks at 4, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” He would have most likely said an Olympic swimmer or a soccer player. Sports and competition have always run deep in his blood. He is a born athlete. He has trained to be the best for as long he can remember because he understands that success is about hard work and dedication. Maks has always put his all into everything he pursues. Fortunately, he was focused on dancing and his hard work paid off. Today, Maks has grown into being a true gentleman, a renowned choreographer, successful business owner, and national TV celebrity on Dancing with the Stars, but his heart remains with DWM Studios and his family. When Maks was training, he couldn’t afford to go to a performing arts school. Where he grew up, training definitely could have been better, particularly in the management area, and as a result the inception of DWM Studios began. Maks  and his father wanted to create a great environment for kids to train: a studio where students like Maks could be respected, respect one another, and train for the love and passion of dance. It had to be a studio that was both inviting and welcoming and of course, it had to have the best dance instructors. Today, Dance With Me Studios remains a focus for Maks but one that he tries to keep very separate from his celebrity existence. Although his own career has led him to be a world-renowned dancer, DWM Studios is simply his home. The instructors and people who are part of the DWM Family are students he trained himself to become champions and who are as dedicated as him to the studios. So, if you see him here, you won’t find Maks from “Dancing with the Stars,” you will find Maks, a son, a brother, a dancer, and most fitting; an entrepreneur.
