First post, insomnia and such things
Dearest readers, this is my first post ever on this blog. I really want this blog to work for me, that means that I will keep posting…but you never know whow life goes on so please don’t be offended or sad if I sometime will just stop writing. It may happen because I am bored from my blog, too busy or whatever reason there may be, just be understanding 
Anyway, this was my first and hopefully last Disclaimer, so let’s go to the interesting stuff.
Well so I’m in a hotel room in Vilnius, Lithuania writing this on my laptop actually out of boredom and insomnia, because, as some of my friends would know I often have problems with the sleep. After a performance it is actually impossible to sleep, even if you’re physically and mentally exhausted, it just doesn’t work. Even if you’re lieing in the bed with the lights turned off, it doesn’t work.
Not that I had a performance today.
I am currently preparing my first full-lenght principal classical role of Basil or Basilio as some may call him in the Performance Don Quixotte. Here in Vilnius the production is set by Vladimir Vassiliev, which means pretty “russian”. I already did some work for preparing it in the summer coming here to Vilnius and then my partner, Miki Hamanaka, came to Vienna to help me a bit. So basically the performance is more or less ready from the technical aspect,now I have to come together with the other people and get the ‘grip’ of the performance.
Well beside this I just arrived here from Cannes where I paticipated in The Ballet2000/BallettoOggi Award gala, where I danced Les Bourgeois and the Don Quixotte pas de deux with Venus Villa. After I have my premiere of Don Quixotte in Vilnius I’ll be (hopefully) in Turino for one day to dance there in a gala again the same program as in Cannes, so a lot to do.
After all that I’ll be preparing the Prince in our Nutcracker in Vienna for my premiere on January 9th 2008, so I got pretty much enough of work for the near future;).
Anyway I’ll try to keep you posted on my progress, plans and such in the future on his blog.
The videos on this site may not work properly. You can enjoy the same videos on my Youtube account!
So, I hope to hear from you my dear readers and wishing you the best from he cold cold and rainy/snowy Vilnius,

Hi Daniil,
I have found your blog by accident. Sorry, but I haven’t seen you dancing before. However Don Quixotte is my favourite ballet and by accident I have succeded to buy tickets for the tomorrow’s performace in Vilnius (although it is fully sold out).
So I keep my fingers crossed for you
I believe it will be a great show.
Best regards,
Kornelija (Vilnius)
