I didn’t shave on purpose because tomorrow I’m doing tango. I want to look more mature to enhance the image. So now I have a beard.
I’m already thinking about new programs. I selected about three hundred compositions for the idea. Then we will filter with the coaches and choose the best ones, ”reports the correspondent of , according to Danielyan’s words.
Danielyan is a silver medalist at the European Championship. The 20-year-old figure skater trains in Evgeny Rukavitsyn’s group.
