[@elspethboyd8074]

[@IndiaCarney]

This video seriously made my day!!

[@PrincessSarahJP]

Oh my gosh! I love you Daniil! This is hysterical! Saw you perform in Jackson, IBC years ago and have followed you ever since!

[@midoriyoneshima3253]

I watched many time and laughing

[@louiselins]

I can´t choose only one favorite moment. Good luck, love from Brazil!!!!

[@theresa2245]

Only the very great can parody themselves and, from this, in turn can only create a greater greatness within their art.This is because they can passionately love the journey, while striving for greatness, and have fun while doing what they love. Thank you, Daniil, for your depth of soul and for your fun-ness. I love this video and it has made me pass it on to many who don't know anything about ballet or are too backward to have ever seen ballet. I wish you continued success and happiness. Thank you for making my life so much richer -- on many levels. From someone who doesn't quite understand ballet, but who can clearly see your unmistakable talent, excellence and passion, a bewildered but now enlightened 64-yr-old from southern Oregon USA.

[@windsordance3698]

[@paulineiv878]
