From @tomas_karlborg_balletmaster_’s viral “pas de balanchine” class for @staatsballettberlin’s World Ballet Day back in October 2021

✨ LAUNCHING: Masha & Daniil — Beyond Form ✨

We are very excited to introduce Masha & Daniil — Beyond Form, a highly curated ballet course created to challenge and expand the artistic development of young dancers.

Over 5 immersive days, 30 dancers personally selected by us will take part in an intimate learning experience focused on:

• technique

• artistry

• personal expression

• individualized feedback and thoughtful guidance

The course also includes talks and lectures by art historians and leading cultural figures, as well as Q&A sessions with us, offering deeper insight beyond the studio.

💃First edition focus: Don Quixote — exploring its technique, character, and artistic depth.

🩰 Ages: 16–25

🎓 Spots: Strictly limited to 30 dancers

🎁 Two FULL scholarships will be awarded, offering selected dancers the opportunity to participate free of charge. These scholarships created to support talent, dedication, and artistic potential.

Beyond Form is for dancers ready to go deeper — beyond steps, beyond shape, beyond form.

🚨Applications open Feb 15 (link in bio)

Behind the curtain, movement keeps happening in a choreography of cables, steel, and a collective intent supervising every detail you see on stage.

Dancers live in this constant threshold. A perpetual shift between being exposed in front of a thousand eyes, and the solitary time concentrating between the machineries. A collision between the raw and soft.

What you see on stage is the final resonance of these two forces.

Still celebrating International Dance Day with some of our followers Favorite Dancers!

Here is Daniil Simkin in Les Bourgeois

From my debut in “Colas” in Ashton’s “La Fille Mal Gardée” at the @opera_roma in May 2023.

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 ✨

Alongside my brother @kimin_kim1028 ( & @kiminkim_fans ) for his show in Seoul some time ago. Taught by our inimitable @tomas_karlborg_balletmaster_ .
At the piano: @mihye_chang_

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.

A little throwback to my guest appearance with @ausballet in @alexeiratmansky’s Harlequinade alongside @sharnispencer who the got promoted that particular night. Great memories :)
