Maks, Val, Peta.
Maks and Val, the hunky brothers from "Dancing With The Stars" are coming to Miami. Joining them in their new show, "Maks, Val and Peta Live on Tour: Confidential," is Peta Mugatroyd, two time "Dancing With the Stars Mirror Ball champion, actress, guess what other distinction she has? She's Mrs. Maks Chmerkovskiy.
Thr trio, along with a cast of dancers will be at the Fillmore Miami Beach on Wednesday, March 28 at 8 p.m.
According to Maks, the dance show will be driven by a narrative of true family life and love stories.
" 'Our Way' (the duo's first show on the road) was just the beginning of the story," says Maksim Chmerkovskiy. "This time I'm a husband, a father, in the best shape of my professional career, and still learning on and off the dance floor every day. Sharing the stage with my wife, and my brother, what could be better than that?"
The show was created and choreographed by Maksim and his brother, Valentin Chmerkovskiy. Valentin says that they've set the bar higher for this show. "We've given ourselves more time and freedom to create, rehearse, and ultimately perform a show that we can say honestly is our very best."
It was the summer of 2016 when Max and Val took their "Our Way" tour to 45 cities across America. The show, they said, was deeply autobiographical, and featured powerful choreography and storytelling.
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 has always run deep in his blood. He always has been a born athlete. He trained to be the best since he can remember. He says his passion for dance began when he actually reached his teenage years, when dancing became such a huge part of his life.
His determination became even more driven when he was in a skiing accident, which resulted in severe right leg injuries and hospitalization for months. He had to undergo many surgeries and was constantly monitored by doctors and physical therapists. Doctors told Maks about his high chance of being handicapped for the remainder of his life. But, Maks became adamant with proving them wrong. He began rigorous physical therapy and dedicated months of his time to healing. Before long, Maks was dancing again. Maks invited his doctor to his first competition after the accident. Because of the accident, Maksim learned the importance of dedication and desire to succeed. "I understand that success is about what you put into the effort," he says.
"I've now had two of the most eventful years of my life and I can't wait to use my favorite medium to express what's on my mind and in my heart," says Maks.
In January, he and Peta, a New Zealand born dancer, and two time "DWTS" champ, became parents to baby Shai on Jan. 4, 2017. They've taken Shai on the road with them for this tour.
"Usually I'm acting out a love story thorugh dance. This time there will be no acting, and we have the unique opportunity to perform a genuine love story."
The 49-city road trip began on March 19 in Springfield, Missouri, and ends on May 16 in Las Vegas.
