Thank you, reut! (You must feel nostalgic a bit ). I'm surprised to see he skates "Rachmaninov" again, but it's a great choice! Also it's lovely that there always is a number in national costumes in Denis' shows.

I feel nostalgic a bit, yes. I got invitation from Denis, but unfortunately I couldn't come because of my work. Also, like I explained earlier, it was a bit complicated because main things happened on Friday-Saturday. I'm still not sure if I was right not to make special effort and try to come... From some interview with Denis before the show I understood they wanted second half of the show to be classical, and Rachmaninov is the "closest" classic program Stephane was working on. Also, Kotaro will be in next editions of "Fantasy on Ice", I suspect Stephane will skate Rachmaninov there too next week. I'm looking forward to see some good quality videos from Almaty. Looks like once again Denis succeeded to make a show of a very high quality. (But while checking photos and seeing all those lights and specially constructed stage I thought to myself that actually me personally I don't need all this, and "Ice Legends" was a good proof to that )

Well, there will - hopefully - be more D10-shows in the future … on more convenient dates for you . I'm glad when Denis' show is a success. Concerning the lights I'm curious to see videos. I like beautiful lightening, when it emphasizes what happens on the ice. I was wondering about what Stephane would skate during the next Fantasy on ice shows. I somehow was persuaded he would replace "Nessun Dorma" by a new program. I would not have thought of "Rachmaninov" , but it's actually the logical choice when Kotaro is there.

Some nice report I read on FSO (Russian skating forum): "We were impressed by Stephane the most and he was the most loved by the audience. Genius! He is flying above the ice, each movement is elaborate and I feel like his workmanship is still growing, become even better, although he is already best among the best. His jumps are soft, skating skills, spins - everything was super good! The difference in quality of skating is always can be seen in steps, Stephane, Jeremy, Denis had lots of steps and turns, others were less good in this. Especially, when you watch Stephane, it's as if you live inside his performance, you're absolutely engaged in it". Video of finale: www.youtube.com/watch?v=JV7LNnXH78w

Our first "Asian" fan meeting has begun just a few minutes ago! Hope to hear more news soon. P.S. Stephane was content, said that everything went well and fans were sweet.
