Simkin is at the Apex of his generation. An absolute deep pleasure and artist. THANKYOU

Imposible describing that beauty with words.

Maravilloso. Gracias! ❤

Лучший!!!

Who are the real XX ballerinas in the world? And the real XY guy dancers?

😍😍😍

Идеальный. Случайно увидела. Теперь постоянно смотрю в восхищении ... идеальный.

Maravilloso... Hermoso trabajo...!!!

Really beautiful!

Nice ❤❤❤

Всё замечательно . Весело. Один . Журнал с чьей -то голой задницей крупным планом . Жаль... Такая харизматичная фактура. Здесь Высочайшего уровня танцовщик и артист!

Having a haircut should help? Skinshort-hair could be the best for this dance.

I am weeping a bit. It is so beautiful. His artistry combined with his athleticism is spellbinding. I loved that there was no scenery, no costumes, just the music and the dancer 💕

Ausdruckskraft, welche über seine Fingerspitzen hinausreicht - Anmut, Schönheit und Können. Bravissimo! 👏

Complimenti per l'idea, originale e divertente...finale esilarante 😂 Ma il babbo, da buon padre, lo ha lasciato vincere😉👏👏👏

Что мне очень нравится! это осмысленный подход к освоению любого элемента УЛЬТРА-СИ

Ни о чём...Хотя,если без видеоряда,то вполне можно расслабиться...

Exquisite.

An astounding artistry from both the choreographer and dancer. I'm glad that Studio Simkin made this available without costing us $100+ a ticket for a live performance.

Гениальный. Хочу чтобы он танцевал всегда. Потрясающий, сложный.

Wowowowowowowowowo❤❤❤❤❤❤

Stunning!!❤

Outrageously beautiful. Thank you ❤

Stunning such an Amazing Dancer ❤I can't even begin to describe all the emotions I've gone through just by watching this ❤

Divino

The first video I saw of you was when you were young and were dancing with your father. What an incredible journey it has been and this piece reflects that. Superb!

You are phenomenal and I can’t stop watching you inspire me with your beautiful movements ❤

Thank you, dear Daniil for sharing your experiences with us. Eternaly greatful for all the wonderful blissful moments you have gifted us. Be blessed.❤

Wonderful! I wish that I could see you dancing on stage in this life. So beautiful, inspiring! Perfect! <3

Bravo! I can't give enough praise to the bravery of capturing a temporal art and committing it to film. A dancer in his prime showing for all time the strength that supports the grace of ballet. Masterful!

maravilloso!

Maravilloso. Thank you Daniil for creating this magnific gift for us 🧡♥️

I don't think there is a more beautiful dancer than Daniil.

❤❤❤

increible

Stunning. The power and beauty and grace of a male ballet dancer with such movement of expression. I wish we got to see more male dancers perform like this, yet it seems they are too often just glorified props for ballerinas, with short moments of high octane "tricks". We need more of this fluidity, these movements in the quietness of music, opportunities for musical expressions. Because as Daniil shows, it's just beautiful to watch.

Daniel magnificent as ever. Would love to see you collaborate with David Parsons on the choreography.

Love Simkin but had trouble watching this because the shot was being cut and moved every few seconds so I got no sense of the space and how he was relating to it. Frequently, the camera angles only focused on one part of his body when you wanted to see all of it, or at least see more. Was it planned like this? Because that would be hard to imagine that planned out videography would limit how much of the dancer and his space you're seeing. EDIT: OK, my bad, tried again, and this problem resolves around the one minute mark. I like the lighting and dramatic throughline and the way he kind of dissolves in light at the end. But the filming still makes it look a little two-dimensional, as if he's moving back and forth along a single plane. Probably influenced by Balanchine, but I feel floor patterns or use of the stage are important in choreography and making it look like the danseur is just going back and forth is IMO never a good choice. But Simkin is so expressive and has such immaculate technique, he's always a treat to watch!

A masterpiece, watching ballet in a whole different dimension 👏

❤❤❤❤❤

Apasionante! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

I see this iconic piece as a well-earned tribute to himself. BRAVISSIMO!!! That spectacular double arabesque turn is chiseled in my mind. Glowing choreography by David Dawson. Standing ovations 👏!!!!!

Meraviglioso ❤

Very beautiful. Gives peace in mind.

I have been watching you dance since you were a little boy in the fallen angel piece with blood on your shirt. Always stunning. Always beautiful. Always simply exquisite. So glad you exist and so happy that ballet won your heart and your devotion.

Using the language of ballet, which your physique speaks so eloquently, to increase the vocabulary of dance as an expression of soul and spirit as well as one of emotion and beauty...🤍

Di una bellezza commovente... Siamo Uno nell' uno. Grazie ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ WOW 🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹 bellissimo, divino, anche nel suo messaggio. Pura Arte. Travolgente... eppure equilibrato, arriva dolcemente... E sei te. Umana Risvegliata. Potentissimo... Ci sono qui sotto 🥰🥰🥰. Adoro quel che c' è dentro di me. Grandissima Anima 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Magnifecent!~

Nice one Daniil! The synergy of your form and dance, together with the cinematography and lighting effects, is magic. This is certainly an extra dimension in the right direction that ballet needs to take. Deeper creativity is exactly what the world of ballet needs to learn to embrace way more. It is crazy and an outcry that ballet dancers train like machines to enable their bodies to do the most exquisite of movements, and yet, by and large, the industry still shackles you the way it does. Ballet is a backbone of the “creative” arts, and yet its established mediums of creativity are restrictive and have still not properly evolved. Preserving the classic repertoires is an important task to retain the traditions of ballet, but when so many of the major companies overemphasise and over-enshrine a sense of archaism, elitism and control, in terms of narrative themes, funding, production and dancer autonomy, it prevents so many, many more people from being able to engage with this magnificent art form. Keep it up!
