And here are the promised photos of my ‘Dance Open’ gala in St. Petersburg, Russia on April 2nd. All photos by me…please don’t get too excited, they just give you a little glimpse of the trip…obviously I was too lazy to actually post-correct most of the pictures. I hope you enjoy them anyway…

Besides that we’re getting ready with ABT to tour to Chicago, where I’ll be performing the first sailor in Jerome Robbin’s Fancy Free for the first time! I’m a little tense and excited at the same time :) ! Anyway I’ll try to keep you posted on Twitter and here as much as possible!

Good night and see you back soon,
-Daniil

I know I’ve been absent more than a year. A lot of changes, a lot of things happening, a lot of work. I am sorry the only possibility I had was to keep you up-to-date over my Twitter account.

But just two things. I my INTENSIO project happening on December 11, 12 and 13 in the Pallace Theatre in Athens. Join me if you want/have the possibility!

The list of appearing dancers include:

Furthermore, a new website is in the making by GNV& Partners. It will feature a re-do of my current wordpress theme, but the general concept of Blog/website will stay the same. Stay tuned.

Last but not least, you can become a ‘fan’ or better said a friend now on my Facebook Page. I have reached 5000 friends on my actual profile and therefore have to relocate my friends to my page. If you are not one yet, please join!

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!

…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.

PS: Photo was taken by the New York based dance photographer Eduardo Patino
