What appears so effortless and playful on stage is in reality the result of hard training, iron discipline and unconditional dedication.
Leonard Jakovina practices the figures again and again, rehearses the choreography and internalizes every movement.
Born in Croatia, he is a solo dancer at the Berlin State Ballet.
His body is like a machine that has to function constantly.
Without years of training, weeks of rehearsals and daily training, Leonard Jakovina would not be able to constantly deliver top performances.
Every figure is rehearsed hundreds of times and coordinated with his dance partner - for perfect harmony on stage.
Dance is a competitive sport to which everything else must be subordinated.
The dancers are happy to accept this.
Jakovina emphasizes: "Dance is my great love, it's everything".
His emotional performances full of power and lightness, passion and grace are proof of this.
