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!

[@laurenr1087]

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!

[@kaisaharju9504]

Just watched him perform this exact same performance yesterday! What an amazing artist, he was definetely the star of the show.

[@railasalmela6718]

At Tampere-talo? I was there with my mother and were totally in awe by the performance.

[@ez88uc]

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.

[@toodlesovo123]

HE IS ASTOUNDING! I saw him live and was awestruck ever since. I showed him to my friend and she's also been hooked. x] He's the best!

[@Guillequetzal]

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.

[@cyanidecinnamon]

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

[@eli0673]

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!

[@cerasella1961]

i saw you both times you've danced in Athens with Zaxarova and your GALA. you are amazing, an angel that dances..but the one thing i'll never forget was how the audience those nights high jump during " Les Bourgeois"

[@lourdesfernandez3162]

Yeah, me tooooo!!!! I'll NEVER get sick of watching anything he dances!!!! He's just WONDERFUL!!!!!!

[@rhapsodyswept]

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

[@huixue4411]

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.

[@helen5207]

I was there,too. the audience was almost going crazy. Daniil is really a shining star.

[@hhoowww]

I don't know how to stop watching this video. I watch this every year since I actually saw this stage. A video that I'll never forget.

[@BunnyPryde]

oh..my god....his lines, his techniques are just...wonderful

[@Serafina11]

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!!! Und weiterhin viel Glück in Wien!!

[@slug3121]

this guy is brilliant; best male dancer I've ever seen.

[@champsoleil]

Whaouh, l'excellence et l'expressivité extrême de la danse sur l'excellence et l'expressivité extrême du chant ! UN DIAMANT BRUT !

[@sbawill2]

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. Susana B. Williams Director Dance-Forms Productions

[@BryceLeeatgoogle]

He's brilliant! I saw him last weekend up at Bard College. He is one of the great ones. Plenty strong, and you are completely wrong about his acting.

[@mermyblue]

speechless...I saw the last day of the Athenian performance @ Pallas theatre... I really have no words to describe such a talent! a great BRAVO!

[@Caqui]

That video made me WANT to learn ballet. We're the same age, and that kid has amazing coordination, really inspiring.

[@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.

[@videowatcher7177]

THIS IS AMAZING! My ballet teacher showed me it and said that he was 16 or around that age! unbelievable!

[@daniellehleihel]

Oh how wonderful I saw you perform this live at the Vail dance festival! I loved this piece a lot it was one of the best performances of the evening!

[@lisa8220]

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.

[@lawrencekurtz191]

Bravo!!! One of your best...

[@Petitsaule]

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... ❤️

[@mariethe78]

J'adore ! Bravo Daniil !

[@G216A911]

I was there too ^^ It's worth for me to fly all the way from Hong Kong to Taiwan, I envy you Taiwanese could have such a successful ballet gala very year, well done Miss Wong (the MC that night)..... Wish I can come next year too...

[@RuthAguiar]

Sos perfecto, y eso es lo que te hace ganar concursos, pero es tu alegría, picardía y creatividad lo que te hace ganar los corazones, que te acompañen toda tu vida. Gracias por renovar la danza y volverla el gesto de lo que nuestra fantasía quisiera hacer con nuestro cuerpo en momentos de intensos sentimientos.

[@mathildewesendonck7225]

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]

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?

[@mdpalfy]

What I love most about this particular piece is that so clearly communicates a story. I may not know the words, but I still feel like I know what is going on. GREAT facial expressions!

[@steloric]

J'adore!!!!!Il n'y a rien à rajouter.

[@brooklea98]

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.

[@lcpbeto]

I saw him friday night in Guadalajara MEX!! Great performance!!!

[@helllbo3213]

Даниил - прекрасное выступление, огромное спасибо!

[@balletuniverse]

i saw him do this last year in the gala at YAGP NYC finals. he was amazing!!

[@plhbf]

I love watching this, its great. Thanks Daniil

[@BrunaPacheco]

Time has passed, and I'm still watching this vid!

[@Vi.Osorio]

Esse cara é simplesmente sensacional, fico perplexa de como cada passo que ele dá dão a impressão dele estar flutuando, sensacional, sensacional.

[@vavilon4ik]

дорогой даниил!!! ты замечательный танцор!!! этот номер просто фантастический!!!вся танцевальная украина тебя любит!!! я обожаю твое творчество! оставайся таким же замечательным!!! успехов тебе в будущих планах:)

[@ahlambtz]

I'd have to agree with you on that. It's amazing to watch.

[@anabelmolina8258]

MAGNÍFICO! BRAVO DANIIL!!!💖💖💖

[@AvalonMorley]

Also, Jacques Brel is one of the greatest creative or performing artists to have lived and worked in the past century or so, and you do him justice w. this piece, so thanks!

[@Alyssumsaxatile]

Du bist ein echter Kuenstler und beherrscht dein Werkzeug mit Perfektion. Ich hoffe dir mal in London applaudieren zu koennen

[@tiawanezfudlovr4567]

Amazing! Performed with such style and class.... simply amazing! It brings back so many memories, both painful and sweet, yet all enjoyable. Complete ecstasy. *sigh*

[@evedust]

The Best interpretation Ever! A real pleasure to watch - Good Luck

[@asmaria]

Wow, that was a really neat dance!

[@salonde]

You R A GREAT ARTIST!

[@doublechatnoir]

[@mnatiferreira]

No puede existir una persona con estas caracteristicas! AMAZING, HERMOSO, FANTASTIQUE..........

[@blondfromfinland]

i love love love the 'casanova' part, it's genius. he can act AND dance like few can. now that's something.

[@froggie9219]

oh he is really good at doing dramatic dances, but this is amazing as well!!

[@lauradellarciprete4269]

Spectacular !

[@anabelmolina6433]

Sos impecable, Daniil! ❤👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@AvalonMorley]

Wonderful! You're so marvelous (only got to see you dance live once, in SHADOWPLAY w. ABT--I instantly became a fan). Nice to see this character-full piece, & to see work by Ben Van Cauwenbergh, who was an excellent dancer himself. Keep dancing, please!

[@freddiemercury4evr]

Outstanding.

[@Maria-ok8wk]

Эмоционально, талантливо, технично. Браво!!! 👏👏

[@pamelavalenzuela647]

Es excelente! 💗

[@МарияАросланова]

Изящно и пластично. Браво!

[@alziraalmeida220]

maravilhoso. a letra genial em perfeita sincronia com enorme talento do Daniil Simkin.

[@DLupa]

I see why he is a star!

[@gvgenovese]

Daniil, ur absolutely stunning!

[@SaeraSong]

Wow, that's great dancing. You're one awesome dancing lad :)

[@ep44]

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!

[@pipi526]

Es maravilloso!!! Un placer ver tanta Perfeccion tanto Talento!!!

[@1psoas9]

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]

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...."

[@manuelacimini8730]

Perfection

[@ILikeCokeGirl]

its so creative!

[@Adarii555]

you are amazing, i love this

[@Amarventris]

This is the only dancer i have ever seen that could do a biography of Gene Kelly and make it work.

[@chudec]

WOW!!! your great!!! and such a wonderfull expression!!! LOOOOVVVEEEE it!!! :D

[@татьянасанникова-т5ъ]

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

[@strwbrybabyg245]

hmmm this didn't impress me on so you think you can dance last night when he performed it. but now i think differently of him after seeing this video. excellent job, very talented.

[@DealWithIt16]

amazing!!! wow

[@B9B]

THIS THE BEST!!

[@ballet701]

BRAVO DANIIL

[@isamm5579]

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 KZbin, Daniil Simkin is the best by far.

[@marina300]

Magnifique!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Merci :)))

[@ivettaloladze2146]

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.

[@susannabear]

you are FANTASTIC

[@marthajane6617]

STUPENDOUS!!!!!!!!!

[@louissaanastasia2818]

i met you in indonesia international ballet star gala 2017

[@virginiaconsoli2751]

Formidabile ❤❤

[@lisa8220]

@Jennifer71 Thanks for reminding me of this. It will have to go in with my Valentine's message to many sisters. Did you see the one when he and his father are dancing together! That was a thriller in manilla, too. But we must give our regards to Jacques Brel as Muse, and puppeteer too.

[@B9B]

THIS IS THE BEST!

[@analuisacarrillodiaz4075]

,Extraordinario!!!!

[@minissa2009]

Charming!

[@Ansulopes]

Vai ser sempre o meu melhor *..*

Sicuramente questo ragazzo ha più carriera che tutti e due insieme...

[@tamarahofland3348]

BRAVO!

[@MiraLFN]

I like this song, and you dance very beautifull. You're so expresive.

[@gvgenovese]

freakin awesome!

[@Tanblondalex]

Magnific

[@zapatillasdeballet]

es increible!!! =O

[@riccardoandolfi7860]

So fire

[@dancer4841]

i cry everytime i see this

[@LysFlower13]

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...

[@frostyoriginal]

Amazing. Maturity maybe needed but awesome. Does anyone know who choreographed the dance ?
