    I was in the audience at the 2006 USA IBC for this performance, and here I am still watching it in 2015. Daniil is absolutely incredible!

    I'll never get sick of watching this! One of my favorite dance performances. After seeing him on So You Think You Can Dance I was so impressed with his skill and character portrayal. I had also never heard Jacques Brel before, and now this is one of my favorite songs because I picture this whenever I hear it!

    Stunning... such control and technique as a young boy.. he has always been an amazing talent! I remember seeing this back in 2006 and thinking HE WILL BE ONE THE GREATS... and he is proving it.

    Daniil... Je l'ai vu danser petit et me suis dit ce jour-là : cet enfant ira loin. TRÈS loin. il sera un Grand... Je me régale en le voyant danser "les Bourgeois", il est expressif, comique, extrêmement doué. MONSIEUR BREL NE L'AURAIT PAS RENIÉ ...BIEN AU CONTRAIRE... ❤️

    Danil is so talented. His dance is so energetic, so flexible and gracefull. He reminds me the way Nureyev used to dance. Simkin is my favorite dancer... Best Regards from Peru.

    Daniil danced "Les Bourgeois" at Rossetti Theater, in Trieste (Italy) on 19th of July: he has been AMAZING!!! I will never forget his performance...A load, long-lasting applause came from the audience for him. Daniil is a great artist!

    ahhh I love that last phrase, the sequence of jumps. the speed at which he attacks that first jump is just great

  • @huixue4411
    @huixue4411 15 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    This is just lovely. For some reason he reminds me of the young Oksana Baiul, only a ballet dancing male. Same charisma and charm and sort of not taking self too seriously....not to mention technicque.

    All things considered, I wouldn't call myself a ballet person. I only speak English, which makes it hard to understand many things about it. When I watched Swan Lake, all I could think was "The men's leotards are so tight, I could give them a prostate exam without them ever getting undressed." But in spite of my cultural illiteracy, I have absolutely fallen in love with Daniil Simkin. Even I can tell he has an amazing amount of talent, both as a dancer and as a performer.

  • @rhapsodyswept
    @rhapsodyswept 17 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Spectacular. Both the dancing/technique, and the commitment with which he encompasses the song's lyrics. The choreography for this is first-rate. :)

    Outstanding! As a panelist and adjudicator, I watch dance videos every day. Daniils is without any doubt an extraordinary talent. His perfect execution of tremendously difficult steps and his charming personality are exclusive. He's like a diamond of unsurpassable quality.

    Wunderschön!!! Ich habe dich gestern bei der Abschiedsgala von Ben gesehen und war begeistert!!! Du warst schon damals, als du noch mit deinem Papa in "Cirque du ballet" getanzt hast, ein toller Tänzer und inzwischen bist du wirklich phantastisch!! Kompliment!!!

  • @mathildewesendonck7225
    @mathildewesendonck7225 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    And Daniil never ever went to a ballet school... all home trained by his parents! Her mother called him „her own little experiment“.
    It’s wonderful that his parents not only gave him the technical foundation, but also the confidence and the joy to perform on stage. How beautiful to see him here- I wouldn‘t believe that this was a competition and he was so young, if I didn‘t know this. He looks so relaxed as this was a showing- off performance at school.

    • @moiraruff3292
      @moiraruff3292 ปีที่แล้ว

      Erm, his parents were ex Bolshoi ballet dancers & master teachers. Have you seen the video of Daniil dancing "I Did It My Way" with his father?

  • @fkokotos

    Just saw him perform this piece last night in Athens (December 2009), and I think he has now refined it to the point of perfection. The leaps and piruettes seem even more effortless that in this video; as if just part of taking a stroll in the park.

  • @ep44
    @ep44 14 ปีที่แล้ว

    dancing is about expression and entertainment and he does just that!! I saw him too on the 12th and I completely disagree with you, he is expressing this song and the atmosphere perfectly. So young but so mature!

    @lisa8220 14 ปีที่แล้ว

    Daniil, I think this charmed me most of all your videos. I'm new tocomputer, but watched Russian Folk Dancing with Red Army Chorus, and other the Cossack dance, and saber dance, and your performance is a tribute to your forbearers. I loved this one the best. To have that acting ability at such a young age, you were taught by people with real soul who breathed it right into you.

    Какое мастерство, отточенность и изящество исполнения, какая пластичность в этом хореографическом номере в тональности легкого юмора! Симкину - большая похвала!Но не хватает легкого и созвучного теме антуража на сцене. Просится контраст к строгости черных брюк и рубашки.

  • @isamm5579
    @isamm5579 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Daniil Simkin was so young and he completely got the subtility of the lyrics (yes, there is one) combinated to the choreography, as if it was his own language or as if someone had explained it to him for days. He nails the whole thing. I found François Alu's version - who is a dancer I really like a lot - and to me he completely misses the point. He's pushy and for somebody whose first language is French he looks like he doesn't know what the song is about. I was so desappointed. Of all the versions I've seen on TH-cam, Daniil Simkin is the best by far.

  • @1psoas9
    @1psoas9 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    WHo choreographed this? Same person coach him? Fantastic performance, very clever number -- wonderful mercurial transformations of posture, attitude, and such refined positions. THe French mime bits are exquisite. The tricks are great, especially the way he hangs in the barrel turns, as if he'd actually stopped there a second. Nijinsky was famous for being able to seem to do that -- an amazing flashing effect, burns it onto your memory.

    • @1psoas9
      @1psoas9 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Found my answer; you might want to know, the dance was choreographed by "de Vlaamse choreograaf Ben Van Cauwenbergh, voormalig stersolist van Ballet Vlaanderen en het Londen Festival Ballet...."

    I think he's a wonderful actor! I've seen him dancing this for real and I can assure you that he has a lot of charisma and talent. And you compare him to Nureyev, but have you seen what Rudi did with the Muppets? He had a great sense of humor and he would have liked a lot Les Bourgeois if he were still alive, God bless him...

  • @Jennifer71
    @Jennifer71 17 ปีที่แล้ว

    Anyone who likes this piece should also see the other videos of it on TH-cam, performed by Marcin Krajewski and Dmitri Simkin (Daniil's father)
    It's fascinating to compare them. I think maybe Daniil is technically best, but maybe he is a bit too tidy in his movements to be playing a drunk.
    Daniil seems to play the character as a bit of a smart-aleck. Marcin seems to have the most fun with it, and Dmitri seems to make it a bit more tragic than the others.

    @Bhoeble my first comment, if you go back, was on the audience's attitude to simkin's performance in athens, not to simkin. so, what I meant is that applauding to his jumps specifically, shows that the audience considered his dance as if watching ice-skating or gymanstics. a couple of days before simkin, the zurich ballet acted in athens megaron, and the room was half empty. so, all in all, my objection was on the criteria of the people, and not in any case on his dance.
