Ep. 121 Interview With Principle Dancer Denys Cherevychko. A Wonderful Mindset

Jun 5th 2024

Hello Everyone,

Welcome back to another episode with myself Isabella. Today we are speaking with amazing principal dancer Denys Cherevychko. He is a beautiful dancer most notably with Vienna State Opera and Ballet however he is also a wonderful touring dancer, working in my galas and guesting worldwide.

What struck me is his wonderful mindset. Despite being thrown into many parts, many roles, his mindset has stayed solid and trusting of himself.

Being a Principal dancer goes far beyond the steps, there needs to be a certain head on your shoulders to be able to achieve your fullest potential as a dancer and artist.

This was a very valuable conversation and I hope you enjoy it!
