Biography
Dmitry was born on May 21, 1963 in Moscow. Since childhood, he was fond of sports (hockey, football) and reading. Dmitry's grandmother, seeing his restless and active nature, decided to take him to choreography classes. Teachers soon noticed his talent and suggested sending the talented boy to a choreography school, which he successfully entered later in 1974.
