I discoverd Daniil Simkin by accident while bouncing around Youtube many months ago and I posted a couple of his dancing videos, one of which was FALLEN ANGEL: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7smuUQLXTwk This is an extremely talented and dedicated twenty year old Russian male ballet dancer. Both of his parents are also dancers.
Daniil Simkin was born 1987 in Russia to a ballet family. The family left Russia for the west in 1990 and after several international engagements settled in Wiesbaden, Germany, where Daniil first stepped on the stage. From 6 years on he had several experiences of being onstage and often danced along side his father, Dmitrij Simkin. Daniil began his training under the direction of his mother, Olga ALEKSANDROVA, in 1997. At the age of 12, he began participating in ballet competitions and famous ballet galas around the world. (see awards). He finished his regular education in high school. Daniil’s latest achievments include the 1st Prize of the world famous ballet competition in Varna 2004 and he has danced several roles in ballet productions of Hessisches Staatstheater Wiesbaden such as “Les Bourgeoises” and the “Blue Bird Pas de Deux ” in Sleeping Beauty. From his websites Resume section. Here Daniil dances to Frank Sinatra's My Way with his father: ...............................................................

You can find many videos of Daniil on Youtube. Daniil is currently dancing in Vienna, Austria. On December 4, 2007 he wrote on his website's blog: 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. http://www.daniilsimkin.com/1/
I love my life. I love where I live. And I am passionate about my passions. I love to dance. Necessary to live: music, piano, singing, writing, acting, painting.
I have been fighting for and supporting the arts all my adult life. Since 2004, I have been working with other activists to end the Darfur genocide.
I have traveled to Europe many times since my early twenties. Places I have been: many USA states including Hawaii, Montreal, Canada, Barbados, France, Spain, Luxembourg, England, Austria, Switzerland, Italy, Greece and Germany - and have wonderful memories.
My last trip was in May - June 2013 to Spain.
I would like to travel to Europe and Kyoto, Japan.
I love the southwest where I have visited Hopi, Navajo, Zia and San Idlefonso potters.
Life is exciting and I intend to live it full-out to the end.
B.S. and M.M., both in music

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Genocide is not only a word,
it is crying of the whole human race.
There is nothing redeeming about being silent
when speaking up is the humane thing to do.
The honor and integrity of the human race is at stake.
