Valentin Chmerkovskiy and his brother Maks are two of the ladies' favorites among the Dancing With The Stars cast. As it turns out, Maks and Val are coming to Kansas City as part of their "Our Way" tour. This is a great "behind-the-scenes" of typical interviews; most are superficial and fluff about the particular show or topic the celeb is pushing. But Val was different. Listen as he gets passionate about immigration, giving back to America, following dreams and being informed about what's happening in the world. It's a great conversation! #TheShowKC #MaksAndVal #DWTS
