Special thanks to the John Cranko Trust.
As new work takes shape in the studio, we look back at ‘Athletes of the Gods’, held at the historic Odeon of Herodes Atticus last year. The ballet gala was dedicated to the charity @aurora_greece , supporting their work for leukemia patients and their families, featuring a formidable ensemble composed by:

Soon, more news to come.
I don’t think @iana_salenko and @daniil need any introduction anymore 😉
What a privilege for @timetodance.gala to welcome @iana_salenko & @daniil performing the iconic Black Swan pas de deux 🖤
Their technique, precision and sheer virtuosity set the standard, this is ballet at its absolute finest. Pure joy for the Belgian audience to witness this level of artistry live.
Moments like these are exactly why we do what we do ✨

Ever so slightly different version from the variation of Corsaire which I performed at the International Ballet Festival in Havana, Cuba in November 2024. Shoutout to @gouneoosiel for the suggestions of changes 🫶🏻
Performing the “monologue“ of Prince Siegfried in “Swan Lake” with Universal Ballet (@ubc1984 ) in Seoul, South-Korea. In this version, which is based on the Ivanov and Petipa versions with additions by Oleg Vinogradov, this variations happens in between the 3rd and 4th act, instead of being part of Act 1, where it’s usually placed.
