Denis Ten is once again hosting a show in his native Kazakhstan "Denis Ten and Friends" Two shows will take place in Almaty this weekend.

Choreographers include Stephane Lambiel and Shae-Lynn Bourne. Skaters include Volosozhar/Trankov, Pang/Tong, Joannie Rochette, Elena Radianova, Stephane Lambiel, Jeremy Abbott, So-Youn Park, Maia and Alex Shibutani, and others too.

This year's show is apparently being filmed for broadcast. Kazakhstan is bidding to host the 2022 Winter Games so interest is hopefully building for the sport.

With the Shibutani's (ShibSibs) as well as Volosozhar/Trankov (and Denis himself too) being amongst the most active on social media, there are lots of fun ways to follow along with everyone's experience including travels, as well as great group photos from dinners, rehearsals and most likely, the upcoming shows.

#denistenandfriends is a convient way to search on Twitter, Instagram and SnapChat.

I highly recommend the ShibSibs Snapchat updates. The humor and informality really make you feel like you are experiencing this unique journey with them. Right down to the amazing food spreads.

As somehow who works in social media, I would highlight both Alex Shibutani @alexshibutani and Denis Ten @tenis_den as consistently creative with their instagram photos. Maia's account @maiashibutani is excellent for classic shots of skaters looking terrific, posing together.

Typo in the thread title:
Thread: #dennistenandfriends 2015 Show in Almaty

Such a great opportunity for the Shibutanis to visit Kazahkstan and perform there :).

i will be honest, i was kinda upset not to see Elizabet Tursynbaeva in the cast but thats probably due to her being junior last year but cast is great anyway, i cant wait for videos or livestream if we can find link! :cheer:

Same here. I do think that her going into the senior GP casted factor in the decisions of participating. Anyway, does anyone have the livestream link?

thank you very much for the links sunny_stars. but I think Maia and Alex are skating claire de lune, not liebestraum. The video is not the best quality but the program looks lovely.

oops thanks for the correction!

yeah they're not the best but it's better than having none....like last year :shrug: I mean at this uploading rate.
Vesti.kz did report that there will be a TV broadcast so hoping that some kind soul(s) provides us better quality videos.

Terribly sorry for making that last post with a table feature. I accidentally used the table html I was reserving for some of my skater bio projects

-incomplete version of Elena's Rach 3 but still longer than the one posted earlier
-P/T's classical EX
-complete version of Tati/Max's modern EX
-complete version of their (V/T) other EX
-oh and finally, another view of Maia/Alex's Clair de Lune EX :love:
-and a better version of Jeremy's Wolf Street program thing-a-ma-jig <-found this in FSU

no problem, matmuh! and yes, I also love their Clair de Lune EX :agree: Not sure if it was self-choreographed though, but it is well wow they have done an amazing job. Also I agree with Soyoun having more fun and yes, more fun for everyone next season too. ^-^
