Dmitri Timokhin

Dancesport.ru posted a lengthy interview with Dmitri Timokhin in which he talks about his competitive career in details. Even though the title of the article is “Life without Competition,” Dmitri says “I would like to leave a fraction of hope that I did not officially end of my competitive career.” I am sure the article posted on Christmas day is a great Christmas present for many.

The reason for his comment on a possible return to the dance floor, he continues (thanks to Google translate),

I never wanted her (it) to finish, because the creative impulse with time only grows. At what point exactly it ended or still to be completed, do not even understand myself. I guess I encouraged readers of this. Perhaps more will come when I again come out on the floor. I do not know in what Role is to be: perhaps, the show, and perhaps competitive dancing.

Other interesting points in the article, again thanks to Google translate are:

  • Anna Bezikova as his only partner in his career because of the length of the partnership.
  • His brief partnerships with Karina Smirnoff and Ainna Petrova. The partnerships were too short for him to comment on as partnership. He doesn’t disclose the reasons for the breakups with them.
  • Various competitions he’s been to with Anna Bezikova.
  • His coaches, the state of Russian latin dancing today, competitions, judges and judging, his rivalry with Andrej Skufca and Katarina Venturini and with Sergey Ryupin and Elena Khvorova.
  • His views on the importance of charisma, emotion, a sense of partnership, harmony and interpretation. He doesn’t like stunts for stunt’s sake in dancing.
  • His and Anna Bezikova’s relationship with Alexei Silde and Anna Firstova.

This is one of the best and most interesting interviews I’ve read. I urge you to use Google translate and read the whole thing!
