Just a clip…

The title says it all…

Greetings from Guadalajara, Mexico.

New DonQ and performance schedule…

Hey there,

got a new video (technically it’s 2) up on Youtube:

Well, I’ve been pretty busy the last days preparing everything for my travelling and especially for New York Just so you have it, here is my schedule for the next weeks before joining American Ballet Theatre’s rehearsal period on September 29:
September 12-14: Athens, 3 shows at the MEGARO MOUSIKIS stage
September 15-18: London, rehearsals
September 19-22: Paris, Théatre des Champs-Elysées, 4 galas
September 26: Guadalajara, Mexico, Auditorio Telmex, gala

Anyway, I have to leave now for rehearsals. Just so you know, there will be some more videos up on Youtube soon ;).
Hope all is well with all of you!

Back in shape…

Well again I’m sitting at an airport noticing that my last post has been more than a month ago. Hmmm. My plane from Tokyo to Frankfurt is late for three hours, what can I do ;).
Anyway yesterday I had my show in Tokyo which went really well. After my vacation period in Varna (what? I am on vacation…impossible! hahaha) I got back in shape and went for a week to Japan to perform first in Takamtsu and then in Tokyo and now I’m heading back home.
4 days in Frankfurt to recover from the Jet-lag and get back in shape for class.
(As you might or might not know there are different kinds of ‘being in shape’. To be in shape for rehearsing is different than to be performing. Then again for every performance and for even every Pas de deux you need different shapes, as different muscle groups are needed to perform. Actually it’s logical. Different kinds of jumps, different muscles, different shape.)
Well after that i am going for a week to Vilnius, Lithuania to prepare the role of Solor, which I’ll be doing there in December for the first time. My partner will be again Miki Hamanaka as Nikiya and Natalia Ledovskaya as Gamzatti.
After that I will be in Vienna for a week to visit friends and do some trainings there.
And I guess then I’ll be writing again to update you ;-).

By the way I have good news for my Mexican followers and friends. As it is planned I will be very probably performing in Guadalajara on September 26. Stay tuned for updates and news concerning that show.

Anyway I’ll write again, I just don’t know when

Bye and wish me a good flight!

In between…

…shows on different countries I am stopping by at my parents place in Frankfurt, Germany, as I currently am. Since my last post one month ago I’ve been around quite a lot. I’ve been to Seoul in Korea, Taipei in Taiwan and to Astana in Kazakhstan. Tomorrow I’m leaving for 4 performances in Italy: Roma, Florence, Treviso and Acqui.

After all that I will relax and enjoy myself in Varna, Bulgaria for two weeks watching the competition and swimming in the black sea. I repeat, I will not dance in Varna, not in the competition, nor in the gala.
