Valentin became a dear friend since we met. I haven’t met anyone in the dance world that’s as open to collaboration, trusts in the vision of a better dance world as him. I spent a few days with him and Anna in Columbus at Ohio Star Ball, where he was competing in ProAM with a student of his to bring joy to her performance. There was a balance between the love and respect everyone had for them and how silly they could get (we filmed an APT Reel with Reagan To and Daniil). 

In this episode you’ll hear an unfiltered, raw Valentin talking about growing up dancing in Russia in the 90s, moving to Canada into his 30s and building a life with Anna and John Snow (their puppy). 

I hope you enjoy this episode!
