Maksim Chmerkovskiy was introduced to the world of ballroom dancing at an early age when his parents brought him to a local ballroom dance school in Odessa, Ukraine. Maksim Chmerkovskiy quickly excelled in ballroom dance and the school became his home away from home. As a teenager, Maksim Chmerkovskiy had a horrible skiing accident that nearly ripped his leg off and left him hospitalized for months. After many surgeries and the insertion of a 12-inch metal rod, doctors were skeptical that Maks would ever walk without a limp, let alone dance. After completing months of physical therapy, he was back on his own two feet walking, running, and dancing. Soon after, Maksim Chmerkovskiy established himself as the top dancer in Ukraine. In 1994 the entire Chmerkovskiy family moved to Brooklyn, New York in order to start a new life and to give Maks and his brother a better atmosphere to grow and succeed in.
