Biography

Yachmennikov started dancing at age 6, with Russian folk dances in the choreographic ensemble "Mozaika" in Saint-Petersburg. In 1993, at age 10, he passed a 3-tour exam for the Vaganova Academy of Russian Ballet. He was known as a hardworking student. His main teachers at the Academy were L. Melnikova, P. Silkin, and A. Garbuz.[1][2]

Yachmennikov graduated with high marks in 2001 and was immediately invited to join the troupe at the Mariinsky Theatre. His teacher at the time was Rejepmyrat Abdyyew. At 18 years old, Yachmennikov debuted in the ballet Don Quixote as Espada. During those years, he had many solo parts in the ballet repertoire, including Steptext (William Forsythe) and Le Corsaire (Birbanto).[3][4]

In 2006, Yachmennikov accepted an invitation from the Dutch National Ballet and went to Amsterdam to perform as a principal dancer there. His teachers were Rinat Gizatulin and Guillaume Graffin.[5][6] During that time, Russian ballet legend, Natalia Makarova, came to the Dutch National Ballet to rehearse with its dancers. When she saw Yachmennikov's rehearsal of Solor in the ballet La Bayadère, she recommended him as a soloist for this ballet. Yachmennikov debuted the role successfully and became a regular soloist for the next two years. He performed in leading parts in ballets such as La Bayadere (Solor), La Sylphide (James), The Sleeping Beauty (Prince Desire), Romeo and Juliet (Romeo), Coppelia (Franz), Sarcasmen, Adagio Hammerklavier (Hans Van Manen), and Black Cake. (Hans Van Manen)[7]
